Found this watch at Estate sale. I do not know anything about pocket watches, just liked it. The name on the inside is Wm. Batson, London. No date. There are some hallmarks on the inside of it. You can see them in the one of pictures.
Just got it there was no key. Looks like it will run but scared to mess with it.
Thank for the advice.
Here's a good article for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusee_(horology)
To view it you need to click on the fusee (horology) link in the definitions... Sorry bout that.
Love the unusual hunting scene enamel on the face.
The silver case is by Nicholas Thomas Wood 1793 (registered Apr 1785 & 1791, 1798). He worked as a Case maker, St John's Square, Clerkenwell, London.
