Pocket watch in silver pair case. Full-plate movement without fusee, signed and numbered, with dead-beat verge escapement and steel balance.

The watch has a white enamel dial, badly damaged, with Roman numerals. The hands are missing. The watch is contained in a silver pair case, with the inner case joint incomplete. Both cases are hallmarked for Chester, 1800, casemaker ‘NL’, possibly Nicholas Lee.
