Vintage Converted Fob Watch Wristlet. Blacklock's Converter. Trench Watch.
Small watch pocket/fob watch that's been converted to a wrist watch using a Blacklock's celluloid converter. The watch is in good condition but only runs for around 20 minutes after around 6 rotation of the winder, not tried to wind more! Please check the stamps to inside cover and movement if wishing to identify the maker, sorry but I haven't a clue myself. The celluloid cover has one minor split to one side, this does not interfere with it's function as a converter. Converter has a Patent stamp inside that relates to pre WW1 date, PAT 18411, around 1910. The leather strap by all appearance is it's period example. This watch would make an interesting WW1 display item as many trench watches where private purchased or presents from family.
