anyone in IHC into old verge fusee pocket watches?

GREETINGS ANDY, I HAVE AN OLD FRENCH VERGE FUSEE THAT IS SIGNED ROMMILLY,PARIS IT WAS MADE ABOUT 1785,1791, IT IS IN NEED OF A CASE I BOUGHT THE THING FOR NOTHING EVERY THING ABOUT IT IS GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE BALANCE STAFF WHICH IS IN NEED OF A TOP PIVOT. I REALLY LIKE THE WATCH THOUGH IT HAS ORIGINAL HANDS AND DIAL WHICH IS FREE FROM CRACKS OR HAIR LINES. SO I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO SEARCH FOR A CASE THEN MY CHILDREN WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO BATTLE OVER. TAKE CARE. EDDIE

I listed one on ebay today, never saw one like it, just a movement. Fascinates me that they created these 100-200 years before cars even came. Look at this one...so wild to see

This posting is for Eddie Hines.You'll probably still be looking for a case as long as you are living.Cases for these were made for each movement.I have half a dozen running fusse movements that I bought with the hopes of restoring and have tried for several years to find cases.Good luck in your search.Regards,Norm

YOU CAN FIND CASES IN THE U. K. BUT THE PRICES ARE REALLY HIGH. EDDIE

I bid on Andy's fusee but I am always hesitant as they are impossible to case without a lot of luck , skill or money and I am out of all 3. I see the chain appears intact on Andy"s and that is nice. I never could figure that chain making out and am reasonably certain the old makers went blind and insane early in life.
