The maker could be George Prior of Prescot Street, London, who was working 1765-1810. The case is of a Continental design, and has been made specially for this movement. It may be as early as 1800. The movement is small for the case with a plain silver disc to close the case opening and support the movement, and a decorated band of silver fitted under the dial. All this suggests that the case was made to fit an existing movement. reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country London reference media-146514 adlib-media-146514 16932a03-2663-3ea8-9a70-7693174ad873 jpeg aa/aa20/MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 594 1671127259119 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 640 width pixels 500 1671127259119 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 594 1671127259119 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 320 width pixels 250 1671127259119 1 image 0 media image reference media-146515 adlib-media-146515 7d670542-ae31-3b6f-b9b8-437834c9b0c3 jpeg aa/aa20/MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 594 width pixels 760 1671127255842 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 391 width pixels 500 1671127255842 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 594 width pixels 760 1671127255842 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_MP_1_20_26_20A_20_26_20B_1929_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 195 width pixels 249 1671127255842 1 image 1 media image reference media-49991 adlib-media-49991 06ebe2d4-9022-3bb1-aaa6-d45f197de9aa jpeg aa/aa6/MP_1B_1929.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1671127256162 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_MP_1B_1929.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1671127256162 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/MP_1B_1929.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1671127256162 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_MP_1B_1929.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1671127256162 1 image 2 media image reference term-88053 adlib-term-88053 53616c4d-e4e2-36e8-b051-667220338d22 watch verge watch reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum 574 reference publication-5231 adlib-publication-5231 aee0dc6c-d7dc-35d1-be1b-8d12037e0e7b Britten's Old Clocks and Watches and their Makers 258 reference publication-6558 adlib-publication-6558 bfe62ffb-0462-3ed3-95ac-2ebc35fdc181 Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World
