Antique silver Stayte half hunter pocket watch, 1929.
The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Stayte, just one of the brand names registered by Tavannes. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the three covers for Birmingham 1929, with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison, the Birmingham watch case maker. The case has engine turned detail to both the front and back, and it is in good condition with just light surface marks to the back.
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.
Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.
The signed dial has blued steel hands, including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed. There are a couple of hairlines but they are faint.
The watch comes in a new present
...ation box.
