THIS IS A VERY NICE 1914 WALTHAM MODEL 1908 17 JEWEL 16 SIZE STEM SET POCKET WATCH (SER# 19746679). THE WATCH IS IN A SPARTON BASE METAL ART DECO RAILROAD CASE. THE WATCH CASE MEASURES APPROX. 2\" IN DIAMETER. THE WATCH HAS A WHITE PORCELAIN CANADIAN RAILROAD DIAL WITH ROMAN NUMERALS. THE WATCH IS SIGNED AS WALTHAM ON THE DIAL & MOVEMENT.
YOU ARE SEEING THE WATCH FRESH OF THE ESTATE. IT WAS FOUND STORED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED PART OF THE HOME. (THE WATCH WAS NOT FOUND IN A WET BASEMENT, A HOT DRY ATTIC OR OUTSIDE STORAGE.) I WOUND UP THE WATCH SEVERAL TURNS AS SOON AS IT WAS ACQUIRED FROM THE ESTATE. IT CAME RIGHT TO LIFE AND STARTED UP. I LET THE WATCH RUN FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE LISTING TO MAKE SURE IT WORKED. THE WATCH RAN WITHOUT STOPPING & KEPT TIME. (IT\'S SITTING IN FRONT OF ME NOW & STILL TICKING AWAY AS I AM TYPING THIS LISTING.) THE MOVEMENT IS CLEAN & BRIGHT. THE DIAL IS STILL CLEAN BRIGHT WHITE. IT\'S NOT SOILED UP, CRACKED UP OR CHIPPED UP. THE CRYSTAL IS NOT CRACKED OR CHIPPED UP. THE CASE IS NOT BADLY BEAT UP, BENT UP, DENTED, ROTTED, BRASSING, MODIFIED, OR REPAIRED.
I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. THE WATCH WAS SIMPLY WOUND UP SEVERAL TURNS & MY OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE FOR THE LISTING. THE WATCH IS BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES AS AN ANTIQUE PRE-OWNED TIMEPIECE FRESH OUT OF AN ESTATE. IT\'S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.
** NEVER A RESERVE **
ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). THEY ARE OBTAINED THROUGH CONSIGNMENT OR ESTATE LIQUIDATION PURCHASE. I AM A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC. I AM NOT A \"YARD SALER\" OR A \"PICKER\". YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS DIRECTLY OUT OF ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I WANT buyers TO VIEW THEM AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHEN THEY CAME FROM THE ESTATES. I DESCRIBE ITEMS AS I AM LOOKING AT THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. IF I TEST THE FUNCTION OF A MECHANICAL ITEM, THE DESCRIPTION ADVISES OF WHAT THE ITEM IS DOING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN TESTED, NOT AFTER IT HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE BUYER. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT\'S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO.
MY sales ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. I WANT BUYERS TO SEE SOMETHING AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHAT I AM SEEING WHEN THE ITEM WAS ACQUIRED. I DO NOT USE THE DISTRACTION OF OVER-FLUFFED ADVERTISING IN AN ATTEMPT TO CAUSE AN EMOTIONAL REACTION TO IMPULSE offer & THEN HAVE BUYER\'S REMORSE.
COLLECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. MY ITEMS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR PART WAY THROUGH THE sale.ONCE AN sale IS UP & RUNNING, IT STAYS RUNNING UNTIL THE sale ENDS (UNLESS I MAKE A BAD DESCRIPTION ERROR & HAVE TO END THE sale TO FIX THE PROBLEM & THEN RE-LIST IT.)ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD TO THE WINNING buyer AT THE AMOUNT THEY WON IT FOR. I NEVER REFUSE COMPLETION OF A TRANSACTION BASED ON WHAT AN ITEMS SELLS FOR. (IE:IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP.)I CANNOT END sales EARLY FOR THE \"WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FOR IT NOW?\" OR \"WHAT IS YOUR BUY IT NOW PRICE?\" EMAILS. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT sales TO FOLLOW THROUGH. THAT\'S THE FUN OF AN sale. PLEASE NOTE:OCCASIONALLY, IF THE ESTATE REQUESTS, I WILL LIST AN ITEM USING THE \"BUY IT NOW OR BEST OFFER\" FORMAT. ALSO,I NEVER PUT A RESERVE ON ANY sale.RESERVESARE JUST A PHONY WAY OF TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING BY GIVING THE ILLUSION OF AN sale.
I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM.I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE WITH NO RETURN. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED.I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR: BUYER\'S REMORSE, FALSE or FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINTS MADE IN AN ATTEMPT TO MASK BUYER\'S REMORSE OR FRAUDULENT RETURN DEMANDS USING response INTIMIDATION.
PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I CANNOT CANCEL A TRANSACTION FOR QUESTIONS ASKED AFTER THE ITEM HAS ENDED. I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN BY THE BUYER, TAKEN APART BY THE BUYER, ALTERED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY BY THE BUYER. I CAN OFFER NO WARRANTIES OR RETURNS ON MECHANICAL ITEMS OR WATCHES IN REFERENCE TO HOW LONG THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER RECEIVED BY THE BUYER. I TEST ALL WIND UP, ELECTRIC, MECHANICAL TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES BEFORE LISTING & THEN DESCRIBE WHAT I SEE WHEN THEY ARE LISTED.
I CANNOT OFFER ANY WARRANTIES OR RETURNS IN REFERENCE TO TIME KEEPING ACCURACY OF VINTAGE PRE-OWNED WATCHES/CLOCKS. THIS IS SIMPLY DUE TO BEING PRE-OWNED OLD VINTAGE TIMEPIECES THAT WILL GO THROUGH RAPID TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND CLIMATE CHANGES DURING PRIORITY SHIPPING. I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW WELL AN OLD WATCH/CLOCK WILL CONTINUE TO RUN PROPERLY OR KEEP GOOD TIME AFTER IT IS SHIPPED. MY INDICATED OBSERVATIONS IN THE DESCRIPTION ARE WHAT THE WATCH/CLOCK IS DOING IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME OF THE LISTING.
ALL VINTAGE TOYS, MODEL TRAINS & HOBBY ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED FOR ADULT COLLECTORS / MODELERS / HOBBYISTS / BUILDERS. THEY ARE NOT BEING OFFERED AS SAFETY CERTIFIED CHILD\'S TOYS FOR PLAY USE.
MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. JUST TO BE SAFE WHEN offerDING, PLEASE ASSUME THEY POSSIBLY DID NOT COME FROM SMOKE FREE HOMES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS \"OLD\" TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT \"SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE\" TO SOMEONE. I CANNOT OFFER ANY RETURNS FOR AN ITEM THAT A BUYER SAYS \"SMELLS OLD\" OR \"SMELLS LIKE SMOKE\". MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.
PLEASE REMIT PAYPAL PAYMENTS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF sale\'S END. I AM VERY FRIENDLY & ACCOMMODATING, BUT NON-PAYING / NO CONTACT buyers DESTROY THE VALUE OF ITEMS. IF A WINNING buyer DOES NOT PAY FOR AN ITEM, I WILL HAVE TO FILE AN NON-PAYMENT CASE TO RECOUP THE FEES.
I SHIP WITHIN 5 DAYS AFTER CLEARED PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED.I ALWAYS TRY TO PACK MULTIPLE SMALL PURCHASES IN ONE BOX TO SAVE THE WINNING buyer A BIT ON THE SHIPPING/PACKING COST (AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO W/O RISK OF BREAKING ITEMS BY JAMMING THEM IN ONE BOX.)I NEVER STACK FULL SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER UNLESS THEY HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY IN TRANSIT. (MOST LARGE & HEAVY ITEMS SHIPPED VIA UPS WILL HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY.) I SHIP ALL SMALL ITEMS IN THE USA VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL W/ DEL CONF. ALL ITEMS OVER $200 ARE SHIPPED WITH SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION. I DO NOT SHIP VIA USPS PARCEL POST, USPS 1ST CLASS OR FED-EX AT ALL, NO EXCEPTIONS. I SHIP ALL LARGER & HEAVY ITEMS IN THE CONTINENTAL USA VIA FULLY INSURED UPS GROUND. DO TO A HORRIFIC WORK SCHEDULE, I DO NOT DO PERSONAL PICK-UPS FOR ITEMS AT ALL. I ONLY SHIP
THERE IS NO UPS GROUND SHIPPING TO ALASKA OR HAWAII. ALL ITEMS SHIPPED TO ALASKA / HAWAII WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA AIRMAIL. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES.THE UPS SHIPPING COST SHOWN IN MY LISTINGS IS FOR INSURED UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT ANY LARGE ITEM AIRMAIL SHIPPING COST BEFORE THE ITEM IS WON. I CANNOT CANCEL WON ITEM TRANSACTIONS FOR LARGE ITEM SHIPPING COSTS. ALSO, I DO NOT DO LOCAL IN PERSON PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULE. I ONLY SHIP ITEMS.
FOREIGN BUYERS USING A 2ND PARTY MAIL FORWARDING COMPANY WITH A USA MAILING ADDRESS TO CIRCUMVENT MY PROHIBITED COUNTRIES LIST, TAKE CAREFUL NOTICE:I CONSIDER THE INDICATED REGISTERED U.S.A. SHIPPING LOCATION AS THE BUYER\'S ADDRESS. THE UNKNOWN OVERSEAS 2ND PARTY LOCATION THE BOX WILL EVENTUALLY BE FORWARDED TO IS NOT THE BUYER\'S ADDRESS. I DO NOT PROVIDE ANY DISCOUNTS OR RETURNS FOR FALSE / FRAUDULENT / TRIVIAL / FRIVOLOUS \"ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED\" COMPLAINTS USED IN AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE SHIPPING COSTS AND/OR CUSTOMS FEES PAID FOR BY THE SELLER OR PAY A LOWER PRICE THAN WHAT THE ITEM WAS PURCHASED FOR. I DO NOT OFFER RETURNS FOR COMPLAINTS MADE WEEKS & MONTHS AFTER THE ITEM SHOWS DELIVERED TO THE GIVEN USA ADDRESS.PLEASE ALSO NOTE:I DO NOT INCLUDE FAKE \"SUITE OR APARTMENT\" NUMBERS ON THE MAILING ADDRESS LABELS UNLESS THEY SHOW UP IN THE USPS POST OFFICE MAILING ADDRESS COMPUTER AS VALID / REAL APARTMENT / SUITE NUMBERS.(THESE FAKE \"SUITE / APARTMENT\" NUMBERS ARE OBVIOUSLY U.S.A. MAIL FORWARDING COMPANY CUSTOMER ORDER NUMBERS EMBEDDED IN THE ADDRESS FOR THE FOREIGN BUYER.) BASICALLY, I DO NOT PUT ANY NUMBERS ON SHIPPING LABELS THAT THE USPS COMPUTER DOES NOT INDICATE AS BEING PART OF THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL ADDRESS.
