pocket watch

[chris143]

Hi,
I am looking for some information on a solid gold pocket watch with the inscription inside as follows:
" Chance ( in script ) London ( in caps )" with the s/n 4694 on the back of the movement "
The face has no name, 1.75 inches in dia., white, roman numerals, the second hand is on the bottom 11/16 inch dia.
I have 6 cleaning papers from Charles Bond watch maker Boston. Dates from 1832. The watch is chain drive and does work. Looses about 2 minutes in 24hrs.
Should I keep the watch in a globe on the shelf or in the safety deposit box?
Thanks
Chris Potter

Did you intend to post this in one of the watch forums? This area is for practicing using the board, so no one but one of the admins is likely to see it.
