........................................................................................................................................................DESCRIPTION
What I have here to view is a Rare 1879 American Waltham Explorer Boer War Pocket Watch. Rolex is generally given credit for the first truly water proof watch but in fact, American Waltham made an attempt to water proof or at least dust proof a watch on April 22, 1879. This pocket watch case is an explorer style model with a screw down case and a large screw down crown. with the early dust proof ezra fitch patent stamped on the inside case " PAT'D APRIL 22, 1879." The outside case back also has the double military broad arrow on either side of " K DENOON 1902 " The South African War ( 1899 - 1902 ) or Boer War marked Canada's official dispatch of troops to an over seas war.
