The movements are of mechanical, manual-wind construction.
Visible markings on the dials include:
A movement with a printed dial reading ‘A.W.W. Co.’
A movement with a printed dial reading ‘HERITAGE USA’.
A movement with a printed dial reading ‘AMERICAN Waltham Watch Co.’
A movement with a printed dial reading ‘J.W. COURT LIVERPOOL’.
A movement with a printed dial reading ‘W. POTTER & SONS LEEDS’.
A movement with a printed dial reading ‘AMERICAN Waltham Watch Co.’
The movements are housed in brass or nickel-silver inner frames. The lot includes a separate brass-toned outer case bezel or back.
Condition report:
The items are in varied states of repair and are offered as salvage or for parts only (photo 1). Several dials exhibit hairline cracks (crazing) and chips to the enamel, notably around the central arbor and edges (photo 1). Multiple movements are missing hands. The movements are untested, and the mechanical integrity of the balance wheels and internal gearing is unknown. The separate brass-toned case component shows surface tarnishing and wear (photo 1).
