orologio da taschino - 17432 - 1850-1900

It's an English silver pocket watch, with a white enamel dial, Roman numerals and small seconds at six o'clock. I would say late 19th / early 20th century. The photo of the hallmarks is the decisive one. I see the passant lion, which identifies English sterling silver 925/1000. The other hallmarks serve to identify the assay office, year, and the case head; in watch cases the shape of the escutcheons can differ from the normal hallmark tables. I also see the case number 17432 and the oval mark “RG”. However, I would not yet attribute RG to a specific manufacturer without comparing the original mark: the sponsor’s mark can indicate the case maker, the retailer, or the person who presented it for assay, not necessarily the movement maker. The case is interesting: the back cover with guilloché work and a central cartouche, while the dial seems fairly well preserved.

Estimate:$1.12
