Good Quality 19th Century Sterling
Silver Ornate Trumpet Pocket Watch Key 5.9g
This excellent quality
pocket watch key is estimated to date to around 1870s through 1880s. It is
unmarked; tests confirm that it is a minimum of 925/1000 for its sterling
silver fineness; note that only the inner barrel lining is base metal and not silver.
The watch key has a
swivelling fixed bale and integral jump ring at the mid-point. It has an ornate
trumpet shaped, tapering barrel with four panels flaring at the top. This has a
round bezel set with a bright orange citrine. The other end has an aperture to
fit onto the square profile winding and time adjusting pinions. Note we can’t
