Looks like a moon but it’s actually the ancient classic theater comedy/tragedy symbol. The other side is frowning. I took it off a dead opera singer who didn’t know when to shut up.
J-BAR #18287 Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 Be careful where you check the time; situational awareness don't ya know! I agree with the others, an exquisite timepiece. Keep on time in good health for many years my friend!
One Gun Jimmy Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 That movement is gorgeous. I want a skeleton watch so bad but no money for tue high end versions.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 I collect pocket watches (and a few wrist watches. too) but nothing a grand s that one. I'll give you a hunnert bucks or it. I've heard that a man who owns a watch knows what time it is. If he owns more than one he's never quite sure.

More commonly called a "vesta", novelty match boxes for your vest pocket came in an abundance of designs and materials; I'm particularly fond of the Art Nouveau styles in sterling. LL
