£150 - £200
A pair of cased pocket watches by J. Holmes, London, No. 248 fusee movement, 1831 (R) £100
Face, hands & glass are in very good condition.
The back of the inner watch case is blackened all over, as if its been held over a candle - it certainly seems indelibly stained.
The inner dust cover is missing. The movement appears complete, but we cannot guarantee it is in working order.
The outer case is good, but there is slight gapping at the clasp when closed.
It has a winding key which starts the watch ticking , but it sounds to be racing.
