Antique Victorian Waltham Sterling Silver Pocket Watch 1885

An Waltham sterling silver pocket watch from 1885 is a desirable late-Victorian era collectible, especially if it still runs and retains original parts. Watches from this period often combined an American-made movement with an English sterling silver case hallmarked in Birmingham or London.

The biggest factors affecting value are:

Movement grade and jewel count
Sterling silver vs coin silver case
Running condition
Original dial, hands, and crystal
Matching serial numbers
