18 size extra heavy type Sterling silver pocket watch bow Waltham Dueber Fahys

Description

"BACK IN ACTION WITH COOL WELD" - for 75 years!!
MEMBER NAWCC - for 50 years!!
This is an 18 size .925 Sterling silver extra heavy type pocket watch bow. These are for 18 size Coin and Sterling silver 6 thru 10 Troy oz. watch cases such as Dueber, Waltham, Fahys, Illinois, Blauer and others.
If your 4 ozT. and up case pendent has lots of bow cup wear on the pendent, but not so bad as to go completely through to the sleeve or center of the tube, these bows will work to save the case .We ALWAYS recommend an "insulator strap"  installed on your watch chain swivel for gold and silver bows. That way, the bow doesn't wear out at the 12:00 position as so often seen. The "insulator strap" can be made out of a 1" long x 3/8' wide piece of thin leather (like a fob strap) with two 1/8" holes in it at either end.
We make these bows out of 6 gauge / .192" / 4.12mm .925 Sterling silver round stock. Cases that are 2 through 3 1/2 ounce will be TOO SMALL for this style bow. They are not polished as you will do that once the bow is installed and tightened (a drop of oil at the pendant sockets would help keep future wear down to a minimum). The bow O.D. is about 1" and the I.D. is about 3/4". Notice the gap in the bow is small. That is to enable you to use these on pendants that have a lot of wear in the pendant bow sockets (or cut ends to close for proper fit). These bows "reach" down into the sockets without binding on the outer edge of the socket hole (that binding would make the socket hole even larger and the pendant weaker). Remember that a good bow install will have the bow stock in the middle of the socket and not binding on the outer edge of the cone shaped socket. These bows are soft so that they can be shaped to your pendant with good bow tightening pliers (essential for a good job).
Replace that old worn out bow on your Waltham, Elgin, Hamilton, Illinois, Hampden, U.S.Watch Co., Rockford, Newark, Cornell, Howard, Aurora, Tremont, Melrose and others with this new bow for a better looking and functioning case.
