Key to abbreviations: "APW" = American pocket watch | "cal" = caliber | "ct" = carat weight | "ctw" = total carat weight for multiple stones | "DS" = double sunk (for dials) | "dwt" = pennyweight (20 per ounce troy) | "EPW" = European pocket watch | "g" = gram (31.1 per troy ounce) | "GJS" = gold jewel setting(s) | "GRO" = good running order (see our grading system, next page) | "HC" = hunting case | "hl" = hairline | "hls" = hairlines | "HS" = hairspring | "J" = jewel(s) | "K" = karat of gold quality | "KW" = key-wind | "KWKS" = key-wind key-set | "LS" = lever set | "mm" = millimeter | "mvt" = movement | "NOS" = new old stock | "NR" = not running | "OF" = open face | "PW" = pocket watch | "QS" = quick set | "ref" = reference | "RR" = railroad | "S" = size | "s#" = serial number | "SS" = single-sunk (for dials) | "SW-LS" = stem-wind lever-set | "SW-SS" = stem-wind stem-set | "WW" = wristwatch
Good running order (GRO) only means that the balance and escapement are performing in healthy fashion and without apparent defect, but does not guarantee timekeeping or warrantee future performance; unless otherwise noted, our timepieces are not serviced by us, and we do not know when they were last serviced from our sources. We do our best to indicate any potential problems or needs for repair.
The Jones & Horan plain English grading system follows this general order from top to bottom for mvts, component parts, metal dials, hands and cases: Pristine (without defect, untouched) | Mint | Near Mint | Excellent | Fine (the average grade for most used, running watches) | Fair | Poor. We no longer use "good" as a grade as it can be misleading, so it only applies to function (see below). We then describe any salient defects that should be called to the attention of the potential buyer.
With respect to wear, we also use the following terms in order: No wear | Hardly any wear | Very little wear | Little wear | Very light wear | Light wear | Medium wear | Ample wear | Substantial or abundant wear | Worn out. These general terms are used in combination with precise descriptions of defects for further elaboration where needed.
Enamel dials are not necessarily graded, but called "perfect" when free of cracks, chips or hairlines, which are structural and always noted. Surface defects such as scratches, discoloration or graphical defects may be present on a perfect dial, and are noted separately.
The term, "Good," is only used alone to indicate that the watch or its function is doing what it should be doing, as in "good running order, good repeat function and tone, good chronograph and date functions," etc. These functions are not rated or graded. "Good crystal" means without meaningful defect, as does "Good dial."

Check, Bank Wire Transfer or TransferWise. (NO credit card payments and NO Paypal for Live Auction Events.)
If paying by wire transfer, please contact us for our bank information.
If paying by TransferWise, please send to auctions@jones-horan.com.
We will e-mail you an invoice the day following the sale, if you are a winning bidder. (Please note that these invoice e-mails sometimes end up in "spam" or "junk" mail folders, so please check there if you have not received one. This is especially true of our clients with gmail e-mail addresses.)
We are not set up to accept credit cards, despite the fact that the "Payment Methods" tab would seem to indicate so. That is a page that is "an overall Hibid account setting" and cannot be removed, according to the programmers. Hibid is the company that hosts our auctions on their website.

A SHIPPING CHARGE WILL BE ADDED TO ALL INVOICES FOR OUR WEBCAST AUCTION. Please note that the auction contains 17 lots that we will not ship, and shipping these lots only will be the responsibility of the buyer. These include some of the clocks and advertising signs. Each lot contains clear shipping notes in the description.
For the 633 lots we will ship:
For packages valued less than $1,000, we ship USPS Priority Mail, signature required, for Domestic Customers. All packages are insured. Items WILL BE SHIPPED TO THE ADDRESS ON OUR INVOICE unless you request otherwise by phone or email BEFORE making payment.
For packages valued $1,000 more, we ship via FedEx 2nd day. IF YOUR PURCHASE MEETS OR EXCEEDS $1,000 AND YOU DO NOT WANT ITEMS SHIPPED VIA FEDEX, PLEASE NOTIFY US WHEN MAKING PAYMENT.
Domestic customers: If you desire faster delivery, please notify us immediately. Once payment is received (including the larger shipping fee), we can arrange FedEx overnight shipping.
International Customers: Contact us for a quote on shipping charges. For shipments valued under $1,000, we ship via USPS Priority Mail in our own boxes (not flat rate). Where the value is $1,000 or more, we ship via FedEx Priority International. IF YOU DO NOT WANT ITEMS SHIPPED VIA FEDEX, PLEASE NOTIFY US WHEN MAKING PAYMENT. We have found FedEx to be the most reliable and safe method to ship higher ticket items and get them through customs. We have also found that when shipping via USPS, in order to have tracking available past the United States border, we must ship in our own boxes, not in the cheaper flat rate USPS boxes. ALL SHIPMENTS ARE INSURED.
