Very Rare & Early 17 Jwl 3/4 Plate New York Watch Co. Hg Norton Movement & Dial

  

VERY RARE & EARLY 17 JWL 3/4 PLATE NEW YORK WATCH CO. HG NORTON MOVEMENT & DIAL. EXCELLENT, ORIGINAL ROMAN NUMERAL, SINGLE SUNK ENAMEL DIAL AND ORIGINAL FINE SPADE HANDS.

VERY HIGH GRADE, 17 JEWELS AND FEATURING A FULLY CAPPED ESCAPE WHEEL! DIAL WITH NO HAIRLINES OR CHIPS - SPOTLESS. VERY CURIOUS UNSIGNED DIAL IS FOUND ON THE EARLIER 3/4 PLATE NEW YORKS SUCH AS THIS ONE. GILT MOVEMENT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND CARRIES VERY EARLY SERIAL NUMBER OF 6512.

MOVEMENT HAS A CURIOUS HINGE AT 12:00, INDICATING THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY CASED IN AN ENGLISH CASE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN EXPORT MODEL, WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN THE UNSIGNED ROMAN NUMERAL DIAL. THE HINGE APPEARS TO BE SCREWED ON AND CAPABLE OF BEING READILY REMOVED IF SO DESIRED. GOOD STAFF, GOOD MAINSPRING, GOOD TRAIN, BUT COMPLETELY GUMMED UP AND NEEDS OVERHAUL. DO NOT LET THIS ONE GET AWAY FROM YOU!
