Description
Early 19th century silver cased verge fusee watch signed “Ramson, London” on the dial and movement. The engraved inscription reads “Capt. A.J. Lerner 6th Va Cav.” After a cursory search, we have been unable to find a record of a Captain Lerner in service during the Civil War, and suspect he served in a Virginia antebellum militia unit.
Interesting piece that deserves more research. Condition as shown, missing its outer case.
