Rockford Pocket Watch
Rockford hunting case pocket watch inscribed in 19th Century period script on dust cover. C.E. Pierce with documenting letter, dated July 17, 1932, signed by Hilda Pierce Robbins addressed London, England to Mr. Richburg stating in summary, that this watch was given by Buffalo Bill Cody to her father, whom he worked on the Wild West Show and that he was well liked by Cody. There is also a beautifully engraved scene of Cody shooting an antelope on horseback with mountains in the background, on cover and an elk drinking at a stream, on back. Not a "Stock" engraving, custom ordered. Case shows anchor and gold marking with period fob included.
