ANtique Sterling pocketwatch necklace with Ghostly hands and See that my Grave's kept Clean inside

Unavailable
With a little whimsey, the inside of this sterling pocketwatch reads "See that my Grave's kept clean" while on the other side are two very ghostly hands under glass ( hard to see that in the photo but they are under the glass casing) that seem to be contemplating the consequences of this request not being taken seriously. The pocketwatch is very old and has a lot of hallmarks. Since it is so thick you could actually put something small inside the back double hinged lids that close. The watch is 2 1/2" long with loop and a little over 1 1/2" wide. The depth is a little under 1/2". THe back of the watch has some beautiful raised relief and a cartouche in the center for an initial. This hangs from a fancy gunmetal relief watch chain with toggle that allows you to wear it long or short depending on where you use the toggle. The chain is 19" long and a little over 1/2" wide. A wonderful assemblage necklace with a little humor and whimsey about how Karma can still come back and get you..TO shut the back, you have to close the inner lid and then the outer lid. This is a neat assemblege piece. VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our pieces regardless of which site it comes from.
