    Description

    THIS IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY OAK CASE THAT ONCE DISPLAYED WHAT I THINK ARE WATCH CRYSTALS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS THAT REMAIN IN THIS CASE. IT WAS MANUFACTURED BY JENNSEN & ROTHBERG OUT OF CHICAGO. CROSS & BEGUILEN WERE A WATCH REPAIR AND JEWELER THAT OPERATED OUT OF 23 MAIDEN LANE AFTER 1875. I BELIEVE THE BEGUILEN FAMILY IS STILL ACTIVE IN NYC AND CONNECTED IN SOME CAPACITY WITH THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART.
