    Description

    For sale is an antique South Bend grade 429 pocket watch. This exterior of this watch is in very worn condition as shown in the photos. The face is discolored and covered in green spots. The minute hand is missing its inner white material. I am unsure of the outer case material, but its outer finish is mostly worn off around the outer edges. The rear cover has several visible dents and a fold that runs across the whole diameter. What this watch really has going for it is that the internal mechanism is in really good condition especially for being over 100 years old. When manually wound, the clock functions and seems to keep good time.
    Please note due to the age of this clock and since it has not been serviced or cleaned to my knowledge it may require some servicing.
    Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Watch will be well packaged and shipped USPS First Class package.
