Pocket Watch : New Era Pocket Watch by New York Standard Watch Company

The watch has a 7-jewel stem-winding movement, model AB, New Era 61 grade, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the New Era name and it has the serial number 247551 which dates it back to 1920. The watch measures 59mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case was made by the Philadelphia Watch Case Company. It is stamped as being Silverode, an alloy often used in the manufacture of watch cases around this time and it came under various names such as Silveroid and Silverine. The case is in lovely condition. The thick glass lens has some marking across it but not too detrimental. The dial is signed New Era, USA. New Era was a brand name first registered in 1896 by the New York Standard Watch Company. The dial is in good condition… the hour hand appears to be a period replacement. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
