Description
This collection of late 19th and early 20th century personal accessories includes a pair of spectacles, two portrait pendants, and a ladies wristwatch. The rimless spectacles feature a yellow metal bridge and flexible ear wires with an attached safety chain. They are housed in a black ribbed hard case marked Payne & Son Opticians Wallingford in gold lettering. The assortment includes two portrait lockets: one oval-shaped frame containing a sepia-toned photograph of a man, and one circular double-sided swivel pendant containing sepia-toned photographs of a man and a young child. The ladies wristwatch features a yellow metal case and a matching mesh bracelet with a ladder-style clasp. The textured champagne dial is designed with a darker peripheral ring and Arabic numeral hour markers. The brand on the dial is illegible. The movement is likely manual wind. No box or papers are present.
Case size: 22mm.
Condition report:
