Pocket watch on a long chain. Watch is circular in shape and has a hinged case. The case is made of gold colored metal. The exterior has a raised pattern of flowers and leaves in green, pink, yellow, and blue. On the front the flowers surround a shield in the center and on the back a star with a diamond in the center. The front of the case opens. Inside is a white clock face with black roman numerals with red Arabic numbers above them to indicate the seconds. Watch has two hands which are blue in color. In the bottom section of the face is a smaller dial with numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 and one hand. Inside the case lid is a black and white photograph of a man from the chest up. He is wearing a coat and tie and has a mustache. At the top of the watch is a knob for adjusting and a loop. Attached to the loop by a clasp is a long gold colored metal chain made of twisted chain links. The clasp is stamped "S.O.B. & Co." There is a sliding gold colored metal piece that is roughly the shape of a butterfly. Inset in the top corners are two small opals. Inset in the center in a V shape are white and pink stones. |
