Item specifics
Age: 1850-1899Primary Material: Cast Iron
Type: Figural Victorian Watch HolderOriginal/Reproduction: Original


This is a figural nickel-plated cast iron watch holder from the 1860's - 1880's  Victorian era. It features a "winged" cherub holding an open book which cradles the "pocket or lapel" watch when it was hung on the upper hook. Being that it is made of  cast iron with a nickle finish, as well as the slight crudeness on detail of the mold used to make it, I am thinking that this particular holder was probably a gift premium given to either the man or lady of the house for purchasing a stove during that early time period. Several years ago I read an article about this very subject which is making me believe this holder possibly may be one of these premiums...especially after looking over the way it was made. If this is one of these early stove premiums, according to the article I once read, they are considered to be  pretty rare finds simply because not too many stores did this. If by chance it is not, it's still an unusual and neat looking Victorian watch holder. There is no damage, the original nickle plating remains all intact and shows a good old patina. The holder measures 8" high and is 5" wide at the footed base.    ...  Priority shipping will vary from $5.50 to $9.00 depending on where you live in the U.S.   (Please email with any questions before the last day of the auction.)    NOTE * INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WILL VARY* ... Paying with PayPal is preferred.   Thanks for looking and Good Luck!
