Pocket Watch Movement Identification Mark


Recommended Posts

There are two on mikrolisk of a similar style. Emil Hoffman. And Jules Sandoz but both have initials either side of the arrow,  maybe another trawl of the site might be fruitful.     Mikrolisk. It’s in German and using the description search requires the text in German.

Hi Jim  just had a shufty round the net  not found anything new.  The name engraved on the watch could well be the retailer.  are there any hall marks in the case as this will point to where the case was made / assayed,  london birmingham  etc.

 

Thats not cross gates in Leeds is it ?

It certainly looks like an English lever   Engraved Manchester road Bradford, and the name  Mullarky I think.   The mark on the plate eludes me just now.  Would like to see the rest of it though.        Cheers

The English watch and case maker Ehrhardt used the winged arrow in various designs.

    • So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
    • When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan
    • The first one is an Unruh max stake for pushing out staffs
    • Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon      
    • According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
