Message and Photos from Sheila / Old Pocket Watch


Sheila posted a message below, regarding a fairly recent stopwatch and very old pocket watch. So that her message and photos get proper attention, I am creating this new message and thread.

Sheila -- Thanks so much for the very interesting message and the photos; you did great with these. I will add some comments in a reply message.

Jeff

    : First, Please forgive me for not knowing how to use your forum yet,
    : but felt I should post anyway, even if I'm doing this all wrong.
    : Thank you for the link to the wonderful Heuer's in the forum, they
    : are really nice. So clean and new looking. I think I only have
    : one of those, and the movement, dial, and case are mint, however
    : the paper label on the back is messy, and the crystal isn't as
    : mint as the other parts. I will take photos and send them to
    : you. Only 7 jewels, and the number on the movement is 7700.

    : I do have photos of the watch I was talking about before, It's the
    : one I mentioned in my first message, however it's a regular or
    : standard Pocket Watch, and not a timer, like the first one
    : mentioned in this post. It has a dial marked Patent Chronograph,
    : a pretty nice, and complicated movement, that has the Ed. Heuer
    : & Co. Trade Mark on it, with Patent also marked on the
    : plates. The serial number is on the dial side, and it's marked
    : 46144.

    : I believe it's an early watch because of the early Trade Mark.
    : Which is a lion, sitting on top of what looks like the world,
    : with "sun rays" around the head of the lion. It's hard
    : to make out on the movement, and also in the picture from the
    : Trademark book, which I'm going to send you a copy of.

    : I have never seen another watch like this one in all my years of
    : collecting. NOT ONE!

    : Well, that's about it, thank you for the quick reply.

    : Sheila

    : PS The trademark is listed in Roy Ehrhardt's "Trade Marks,
    : Watch cases, Pocket Watches, precious stones, and Diamonds"
    : I will send the photos later when I have both ready. Thank you
    : for offering to post them for me.
    : Bless,
    : Sheila
