Featured in this lot is an 1866 silver British pocket watch with fob, most likely from a Chester, England watchmaker. Interior of the back case has silversmith identification markings, J.T, which correspond to John Gaskins Tyton & Sons.
Chester's long history in relation to the Chester Hallmark dates back nearly 600 years with official records dating as far back as the 17th century.
Chester had it's own Guild of Goldsmiths from the early 15th century however records from the Chester Assay Office only begin to surface two centuries later due to tighter legislation being introduced. The earliest pieces of Chester silver were struck with a hallmark depicting the three wheatsheaves and a sword in a shaped shield. In 1701 the assay mark changed to the Arms of Chester impaling those of the Earl of Chester (three lions), however it reverted back to the earlier mark in 1779, this assay mark remained the same until the offices closure.
Pocketwatch has a hand-tooled silver case with a half globe glass face with the exterior showing good condition overall with a warm patina. Inner mechanisms not working. 1 7/8" diamete
