1918 silver James Wadsworth pocket watch &chain
Antique 1918 silver James Wadsworth pocket watch and albert.
The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the two case backs for London (import mark) 1918 with an importer's mark for George Stockwell.
From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items, which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail.
The case has a pin-prick size “ding” to the side, and some unevenness to the hinged case back. The back of the watch has the initials GS.
The glass lens is in good condition.
The dial is signed James Wadsworth, Manchester, the original retailer of the watch. The dial is in lovely condition with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch comes with a silver double albert, also hallmarked for 1918... each chain measures 23cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Each of the links has the lion passant mark.
Also included is a Victorian double florin, also known as the "Barmaid's Grief" due to its similarity to the slightly larger crown coin which had a value of 25% more than the double florin. As neither coin was marked with its denomination and both used an identical portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse, it was very easy to get the two coins mixed up.
The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
