Re: Antique watch possible trench with sterling silver marks
Yes definately WWI Period and silver.Ā
I cannot read the manufacturer from your picture but the following link will show you a number of companys at the time.
http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/trenchwatches.php
As you will see they created guards and other additions to the watches during WWI
Circa: 1914 - 1918Ā Ā Antique Soldiers Trench WatchĀ ...Ā Its over 100 yrs old ... amazing
Origins based on manufacturer ...Ā would be scribed by the hallmarksĀ
Valuation estimate $100 - $200 USĀ
This is a very nice piece of history. This is a trench wrist watch. There are some that were crafted off pocket watches but thier winder was by the strap at the top of dial .. not on the side.
Please reply and give me some feedback on my valuation. Its appreciated.
Ā Kindest Regards ..
