Steel pocket watch case opener. Keystone c1910

Code: 9.607

SOLD

This is an American watch case opener.

These were given away as promotional gifts from the case makers and watchmakers of the time. Occasionally a private retailer would then engrave the business name on reverse and very occasionally the whole item was produced by an individual jewellers or watchmaker rather than a larger company.

These steel case openers are all designed to open pocket watch case although I would advise that you should have some experience before trying this with an older case opener such as these as a slip could scratch the case.

 

This example is from the Keystone case makers and is in the shape of a watch cock

The front has details for Keystone, the reverse details of a PA Jeweller

The opener can be attached to a watch chain

It measures 44mm x 20mm and is in 95% mint condition
