Status: Sold

Wadsworth-cased pocket watch featuring a 17-jewel mechanical movement, a fine example of American craftsmanship from the early 20th century. The dial is classic and clean—white enamel with bold black Arabic numerals and red minute markers in five-minute intervals, paired with ornate black hands and a subsidiary seconds dial at six o’clock. The timepiece is housed in a gold-filled case marked “Wadsworth Referee Warranted 20 Years,” with serial number 2921373 engraved inside the back cover, confirming its period authenticity and durable construction. The movement itself is engraved “Hamilton Watch Co. Lancaster, PA,” and “17 Jewels,” with visible precision gearing and bridges marked “Adjusted,” indicating a higher-grade finish and regulated performance. The watch retains its original crystal and exhibits gentle patina consistent with age, enhancing its vintage appeal.
