Lot 2178a:
Description
This 21 jewel, brass back chronometer is serial numbered on outer wood box and inside watch 21549344. Our research shows it to be made in 1919. It appears to keep very good time from our testing however it needed a gentle tap to get running and may need a cleaning. All brass parts of watch and both wood case show some saltwater corrosion, age and wear. The outer blue cushion shows some wear and age but no mothing. Crystal is scratch and chip free. Watch’s Wood case, hinges and fitting are in good condition. The case has shows wear and scuffs. The leather strap is missing. Both box and bottom are bare wood. The movement serial number does not match the box serial number which is 21869552. There are no keys. Another nice example of American time pieces. NOTE: this is from the estate of WWII-Korean War KIA grouping from his time in Navy service on submarines in WWII.
