Hi Chaps,

amongst other things I have recently inherited this watch.

Any idea of the make, age, and value please? I’m not really interested in selling it but it would be nice to know a little about it.

Much appreciated.

Having a look on Google, this looks similar enough that it might be the same maker:

And another one from Google:

If you can take a closer photo of the marks inside the case (or tell me the letter) I can tell you the exact year, I just about can’t read the letter in the photo.

Chester, 1876 in that case!

Two years shy of 150 years old!
