Fine and extremely heavy 18K gold Howard Type III antique hunting case
pocket watch circa 1867.
Massive original double spring hinged C & F case. Approximate net weight 80 dwt.
Gilt half-plate 15 jewel movement with Mershon's Patent Regulator. The gilding is in particularly
fine condition. Fine white enamel dial with black numerals and blued steel hands.
A wonderful example in particularly fine condition throughout.
These early Howards are some of the most interesting and attractive early American watches.
