Gent's Gold Half Hunter Pocket Watch
We recently acquired the gent's 9 carat gold pocket watch in our photographs.
It is still working, but is likely to be in need of a service.
The dial is marked:-
J. W. Benson
London
The case and certificate are inscribed:-
No. 4599
J. W. Benson Ltd
London
Half Hunters
A "hunter" pocket watch is one with a case made to close fully over the watch dial, to protect it during physical activites such as hunting. A "half hunter" is similar, but with a window in the front cover so that, although the dial was protected, it could still be read without opening the case. This obviously made it easier to read the time whilst riding.
Warranty & Directions
As you can see, this watch comes complete with its warranty, dated 19th March 1924, the reverse of which contains "Directions for the Management of this Watch".
