Some photos may have distortions from light reflections.  These distortions are not necessarily problems with the watches.  If you are in question, please ask us .  

Lots that contain multiple pieces are sold as is-we advise personal attendance or a representative at the live auction if you would like to bid on these multiple pieces.

We have tried to keep a format for taking photographs. In general, for open face pocket watches the dial is the first photograph, the case is the second photograph, the movement is the third photograph, and the hallmark is the fourth photograph.  In general, for hunting case pocket watches the case is the first photograph, the dial is the second photograph, the movement is the third photograph, and the hallmark is the fourth photograph.  In general, for wristwatches the front of the case and the dial is the first photograph, the back of the case is the second photograph, and  the movement is the third photograph if available.  -Jones & Horan Auction Team
