Gilks watch - case

Photograph by kind permission of Anthonie Stilgoe whose ancestor Zachary Stilgoe's intials are on the watch casing together with the year 1742. This might just be ZS recording his ownership then rather than date of the watch as 1742 is engraved on various other belongings of ZS.
