Lot of 51 Pocket Watches and Movements-Elgin-Hamilton-Waltham-Illinois-Silver

Description

Large lot of 51 antique mechanical pocket watches, total weight of everything included is 5 pounds 15 ounces. The majority of these are complete with the exception of missing hands. I went through these and most have an issue at the balance wheel but it appears the escapement is working correctly on most. Meaning you can engage the escapement wheel and make them “tick” however they will still need work on the balance wheel. There are 11 that wind up and run fine. Also included are some extra dials and 12 dissasembled movements and two antique pocket watch movements. There are a couple lower end Ingersoll watches in the top row that are more parts but one is in a case. There are a couple cases that are complete maybe needing a new crystal, couple need backs. The cases are silveroide or nickel. Brands Included: Illinois Watch Company, Elgin, Waltham, LaSalle, Hamden, G.W. Davey, Soldale, Seth Thomas, Fortuna, A.W. Co, Herald, Diamond Special (21 Jewel), Locust. Couple dials are Elgin, CYMA, Pain Brothers Hastings “True Briton”, Hampden, Sentinel, Admiral, South Bend. There are no extra crowns and pins included in this listing. A few watches have the stem inside them you can turn and wind up. The cases all have crowns and stems. Item Size: Varying Item Condition: For parts or repair. I cannot test each component of each of these watches. Although 11 wind up and run, I have not tested time accuracy or monitored for longer than to confirm they wind up and run. Many of these are likely easy fixes and absolutely great for donor parts if that’s what you choose. Items Included: Watch only. Returns Accepted: No, due to nature of age of watch and buyers scalping needed pieces. Please view description and all photos showing condition to make your decision on purchasing.
