Watch Mortar or Changing Canister. London: J. Bland, 1890s. A borrowed watch, placed in a red cloth bag, is smashed to pieces in the handsome hand-painted metal container. A paper cover is lowered over the container and when removed, the watch in the bag is restored to working condition. Finely made example with original paper cover, height 4 ¾”. Includes duplicate bags and watch parts. Split to base, usual paint wear, but very good overall.
