Dial & Case

Nice watch Ted, i like the lion head on the movement, interesting note, Pembroke is a small town near Ottawa where i live.There must be a Pembroke in England i imagine?

Thanks Kevin, I thinks Pembroke is a city in Wales not sure. Regards TED

Per the Loomes book: John Barrett was woring in Pembroke 1830-48. John & Son at Pembroke Dock 1844. Also shown is Henry at Pembroke Dock 1850-68. William Henry at Pembroke Dock, 1875. All in all, it lookes like the Barretts were quite a horological family.

Forgot to mention, but the hallmark looks like 1854? A better picture would help.

Jerry thanks for the info on John Barrett i also had the date 1854 or 1830 not sure. Regards Ted

Hi Ted, Your watch is Welsh, Pembroke is a port in wales. Regards, Ged.

Thanks Ged, Still not sure where that is is it close to England? Regards TED

Hi Ted, Wales runs up to English border, and is situated on the South-West of our island and has a long coastline. Cardiff is the capital city. Regards ,Ged.

Ged, Thank you very much that was a great help. TED
