REMARKS: Illinois 14K Multi-Color Solid Gold Hunter Case Box Hinge Pocket Watch with a Buck/Elk/Deer Figure on the caseback.  The buck is complemented by flowers and leaves on both sides for a great look.  Front cover of the case has the standard rose gold shield and floral adornments all around, with initialized by previous owner.  Box Hinge case design makes it more robust along with a more prestigious look.  Inside the watch it has an Illinois Grade 255 17 jewels movement with solid gold center wheel.

CONDITION REPORT: Condition-wise the watch is running strong but we cannot guarantee any functional or mechanical elements as this is an antique timepiece over 100 years in age.  It has not been serviced and we recommend for any and all antique pocket watches to undergo service by a trusted watchmaker to extend its usage life.  Cosmetically the dial has several hairline cracks that are quite hard to see without magnification including a short one below the center post running down to the sub-seconds chapter.  There are also some fracture cracks outside the 8 o’clock hour marker towards the red 40min marker.  The 14K solid gold multi-color hunter case is in reall fine shape with the inner hallmarks nearly polished off and unevenness can only be seen from the inside of the case.  Overall it is a very clean and nice conditioned pocket watch.  Diameter is 45mm, total weight is 66.9g.
