E.N. Welch Manufacturing Co. “Jewel” paperweight timepieces, ca. 1885. Four-inch cut-glass cases containing a 1-day time-only backwind lever movement in green, clear, and amber glass.  The cases are free of chips and cracks, with little wear.  Each has a beveled glass over the porcelain dial; the green and amber clock dials have some hairline cracks, and the hands on each clock do not necessarily match, nor do they match the catalog illustration. The green and amber clocks are running.  The backs are signed and bear the Welch logo.  Indicate on your bid sheet which one(s) you are bidding on.  $50–$100 each.
