Hi,
I'm trying to identify the marks on a pocket watch. I think it's London made, but may have been Sheffield. After searching this site, I'm not sure about the location as I can't (or haven't quickly) find the maker's mark amongst those listed. I'd be grateful for help identifying this please.




Many thanks for anything you can tell me about this.

The image links appear not to have worked, I'll try a diofferent method, apologies for that.

Your watch case has a Chester hallmark with the date letter G for the assay year 1825/26. The maker's mark TE over HF is the mark of Timothy Ellison & Henry Fishwick of 5 Tarleton Street, Liverpool. It is more than likely then that the watch itself is the product of a North-West England watchmaker. Is the movement signed?

I have moved your post into the Chester section.

Thank you so much for your help. I did wonder whether it might be Chester but couldn't find the TEHF mark amongst the Chester makers listed on this site and the city mark is a little unclear to me in the image I've got. I've found it now on the silvermakersmarks website.

I don't believe the movement is signed at all, the watch belongs to my brother-in-law. Hopefully what you've given me is enough information. It's certainly better than I had managed to work out for myself.
