According to the inscription, James Farrell received this watch in 1871 as a gift from D. R. Northey; nearly half a century later the treasured timepiece was given to John by Kathleen. Unfortunately we have no further information on these owners of the watch; it is, however, still a remarkable collector’s piece in outstanding condition.
