Case Details The triple hinged Essex case originally held an 18s Trenton movement (long gone) and purchased some 13 years ago. The die engraved detail remains in good condition though much of the original gold surface has worn away showing the underlying brass. A far better spare 18s GF case is available but it's bezel needs a crystal, so the old Trenton case was used to temporarily house the 274 Veritas.
