This watch is displayed because of its American silver case stamped with the maker's mark "MB".

George Harlow, the name engraved on the movement, retailed and repaired clocks and watches. He advertised in the Roxbury Massachusetts Directory of 1858 describing himself as a dealer in clocks, watches, and jewelry at 81 Washington Street, Roxbury.

Full plate lever fusee movement, serial number 14280, with three arm uncut steel balance, Liverpool jeweling, signed enamel dial with seconds and stop feature. Movement engraved George Harlow, Roxbury, Mass. and PATENT on the balance table. Unmarked dust cap.

Liverpool watches like this example were being imported and sold by watchmakers and silversmiths throughout America.
