3.0 out of 5 stars
NOT a Railroad Watch.,
By Timothy Patrick Flynn Logue (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: #IK4 Rare E. Howard Series III Antique Hunter Pocket Watch 18 Size (N) 15 Jewels Coin Silver Key Wind Circa 1868 - Historic Railroad Presentation Inscription (Watch)
This is not, not, NOT a railroad watch. Railroad watches from ALL periods NEVER had roman numbering. Please take this to a watchmaker, an antiquer or watch historian for proper identification.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great piece of history!,

Contrary to another review on here, "Railroad" watches were not regulated until the 1890s. This watch was presented and engraved in 1869 - decades before it they regulated watches used on the American rail lines. Even still, many watches were known to be "grandfathered" in. So could watches in hunting cases with roman numeral been used on the railroads in America! YOU BET!
Howard watches are some of the most sought after American watches ever made. Pretty nice watch for someone's museum-type collection! Very interesting the rail line lasted just a couple of years. Good luck finding more original items pertaining to this short lived railway! |
