Help with some identification would be most welcome Case diameter 48mm. There is a hallmark, perhaps for the case maker, - in a small box the characters E&F. The movement appears to be "L'Epine patent lever"; could that have been manufactured in the US, and if so by whom? I know virtually nothing about watches so please correct me when I'm in error. The name and city inscribed on the watch - would that have been the owner's name? In this particular example there was also a jeweler of that name in Charleston, SC. Would that be the way the jeweler would "advertise" his wares. The back of the face had 3 characters engraved /stamped PIC What would those represent? What is the likelihood that this was the original face? The portrait is of Henry Clay. http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/a/sammler/HenryClay/HenryClay31.jpg http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/a/sammler/HenryClay/HenryClay32.jpg http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/a/sammler/HenryClay/HenryClay33.jpg http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/a/sammler/HenryClay/HenryClay35.jpg http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/a/sammler/HenryClay/HenryClay36.jpg http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/a/sammler/HenryClay/HenryClay37.jpg http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/a/sammler/HenryClay/HenryClay38.jpg Thank you, Pat |
