Case Details | Unfortunately, I don't know if the case originally came with the watch, or the dollar coins were added later. I never run across any pictures of an identical watch. There is nothing on the case which I can identify as to the manufacturer. On the inside cuvette, there's a 'K', followed by a 75 and a 2 with what appears to be an overstruck 4, and followed by what looks to be an upside down 1. The case color looks to be 14K and the case is finished in coin edge. The front coin is an 1882 Morgan silver dollar with a San Francisco mint mark. The rear coin is an 1877 US trade dollar with a San Francisco mint mark. Trade dollars were only minted for 1873 - 1878. I'm thinking the 1882 dollar was chosen for when the watch was purchased - manufactured in 1881, and the 1877 dollar was chosen for the model number. |
