Description

Antique silver pocket watch, Oddfellows, 1918.
The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely.
The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has an inscription, ‘Presented by loyal city of Canterbury Lodge 3743, to Bro W A Joad Prov G M, Canterbury District, M U Oddfellows, 1941, for his services to Oddfellowship’.
The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London 1918 with a sponsor’s mark for Arthur Rendell. In 1907, an act came into force which meant that all imported watches had to be assayed in a UK assay office and marked with British import hallmarks. For this, a sponsor's mark was required. In this particular case, Arthur Rendell was an employee, and probably in charge, of the department that handled imported watches at a company called Pringles, the UK's largest wholesalers of jewellery, silverware, clocks and watches, so it was deemed relevant to use his initials.
The watch was already 23 years old when it was awarded, perhaps second hand was a more economical as the watch was presented in the middle of the second World War.
Overall, the case is in good condition, just an indentation to the back where it has been pushed shut.
The glass lens has a couple of short scratches, not too detrimental at all.
The dial is in lovely condition with blued steel hands.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
