A base metal pocket watch. The keyless wind movement is currently functioning intermittently. The jewel holes are looking to be dry and the balance spring is bunched over to one side. The luminous paint on the dial has degraded and in a lot of cases has come off entirely, there is a hairline crack running from the seven o'clock position through the middle of the subsidiary seconds dial before branching off into separate cracks. Hands are tarnished with signs of surface rust, the minute hand appears to be the least affected and judging by the condition of the lume may be a replacement. Case is heavily worn befitting the watch's purpose, the nickel plating has almost worn away completely from the case back. Glass is filthy and covered with a variety of scratches. Bow is loose.

Please note that this lot does not come with box or papers.
