This is an 18 size stem wind and lever set Rockford pocket watch in a gold-filled “Excelsior” triple-hinged hunting case. The “Excelsior” cases were made by H. Muhrs Sons and were listed as 12K Gold Filled cases, warranted for 20 years. Watch serial number is 325278, dating watch to 1888. 15 jewels. Case has coin edge and nice engraved scene. Single sunk Roman porcelain dial and glass crystal.
Condition: Watch is running as I write this however it has stopped on occasion. It likely just needs a cleaning. Winds and sets. Even, moderate wear on case with typical surface marks. Front cover opens to beyond 90 degrees but lift spring functions properly and covers stay closed. Edge chip on dial covered by bezel and some hairlines. Excellent hands. Please see my other auctions.

New and updated policies. PLEASE READ.
International bidders: Due to recent issues involving international sales, all sales to bidders living outside of the U.S. MUST be shipped through the Ebay Global Shipping Program ONLY. I will cancel bids from bidders based outside the U.S. who are using any other method to receive their packages. This includes the use of mail forwarding services (I know what that is) and “ship to a friend.”
No unsolicited offers: When I run a regular auction that does not include a “best offer” option, please do not message me with your offers. Such messages will be deleted and you will receive no response. If you do this often, I may block you from bidding in the future.
The watches I sell are antiques and are sold as-is, so no returns please. All watches have not been serviced by me unless otherwise stated, and as such I make no guarantees as to running condition, nor do I know the history of the watches I sell. If I state that a watch is running, it was running as I was preparing the listing but I do not guarantee functionality for any specific length of time. Watches have not been timed. Any watch may require some degree of service. Your bid is a binding contract.
