Antique Silver Full Hunter Pocket Watch, 1919

Antique silver Minerva full hunter pocket watch for The Northern Goldsmiths Company.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The arrow logo identifies this as a Minerva movement, a good quality 17-jewel stem winding movement with four adjustments. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is sterling silver and there are hallmarks inside all three covers for Birmingham 1919 with a case maker's mark for Aaron Dennison, an English case manufacturer who supplied various watch makers. The case is in lovely condition.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.

The dial is signed Northern Goldsmiths Co, Newcastle. The dial looks lovely to the naked eye. If viewed through a jeweller's loupe then there are two very faint hairlines. Original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes in a Northern Goldsmiths box from their Darlington branch.
