Pocket Watches: 19th & 20th Century - Ana Shenton. Published by -Antique Collectors' Club, Hardback with dust jacket, 1995. Illustrated (black and white). Anyone wishing to learn more about pocket watches, therefore, whether as a collector or through a general interest in the subject, should find this authoritative title useful. The authors cover in depth every type of pocket watch produced, explaining in clear, uncomplicated language precisely what to look out for and, of equal importance, what to avoid. Unlike so many other books on horology, they do not concern themselves with largely unobtainable or outrageously expensive "museum" examples, but prefer to concentrate their attention on affordable watches which their readers are actually likely to come across in everyday situations. Illustrated throughout, the authors provide not just portraits of watches but also numerous examples of their internal workings or movements. Condition: Very good. The pages are clean and tightly bound
