Circa 1892 Rockford Hunter Pocket Watch

Rockford Rolled Gold Hunter Pocket Watch, circa 1892

A lovely stem wound, lever set, 15 jewel Rockford hunter watch. A size 6, it is a smaller format pocket or pendant watch. It has fire-gilt plates, a fine porcelain dial and is excellent throughout with no case wear through. This Illinois maker had some excellent calibres, quite uniquely engineered. They were in business from the late 1870's until 1915 and made about a million watches. Nice to carry in that fifth pocket or as a desk piece.
