High quality gold pocket watch and chain manufactured by the Hamilton Watch Company. The watch face is script marked "Hamilton Watch Co" with Roman numerals showing the hours and Arabic numerals marking the minutes over each hour. Arabic numerals are also used to mark the seconds. The watch cover is scroll engraved with a raised shield engraved with the monogram "WHH". The back cover is scroll and floral engraved. The back cover opens to expose "WILBUR HENRY HOFFELD * LOS ANGELES, CALIF. * JULY 5, 1920" engraved in a circle and surrounding raised silver crossed Colt Paterson percussion revolvers with a gold raised monogram in the middle. "KEYSTONE / WATCHCASE" over a scale is marked on the back of the back cover. Complete with gold chain with percussion revolver charm.

Rating Definition:

Excellent Overall the metal exhibits fine surface scratches with the gold finish beginning to thin, showing even honest wear overall. There are a couple of light outer edge dents. The glass over the watch face has some light scratches with the white watch face showing light age discoloration. The Paterson inlays are beginning to silver out. Watch runs, accuracy not guaranteed. The engraving and inscription are clear. The watch was wound-up and functions correctly.
