1932 WA Perry & Co Silver Watch and Band - From England Through eBay

Another watch came in the mail the other day this one is rather interesting.  While it is not some flawless mint condition high name vintage watch, it is very unique.  There are multiple names on the watch and this is not because it was pieced together my some mad watchmaker.  Back when it was made the Jeweler on the dial, now hard to read, WA Perry & Co Birmingham.  The watch model "Crusader" is still very visible.




The hands appear to be all original along with the dial.  It has escaped decades without any refinishing.  



The case is an ALD (A L Dennison) marked silver case.  I am very familiar with the Dennison marked cases as I spent time in the UK.  Every Waltham Traveller pocket watch there I saw had a Dennison case.  Many of the 9ct cases and sterling cases were ALD marked.  The hallmarks are for sterling, Birmingham, and the date letter H for 1932.  The hinge on it is still very good for an over 80 year old watch.



The movement is marked Adie-Marlys Watch Co.  From what I have found researching is that the Crusader was one of their brands.



Under the dial the movement is marked for FHF.  There is no ref number to identify it.




The movement is also marked Non-Magnetic Compensated 15 Rubies 2 Adj.  It still has a very nice gilt finish to it that is still bright.


Please stay tuned to my blog as I have a watch I will be getting on Saturday I will be posting about.  It is a solid 14K box hinged hunter case BW Raymond from 1886.  I also have a deal going on Saturday that may net me another  watches as well.
