This lot consists of antique pocket watch movement main plates / pillar plates in a variety of sizes, finishes, and conditions. These are the foundational plates from mechanical pocket watch movements, with the dial and upper bridge components removed. The assortment includes brass/gold-toned and steel/silver-toned plates, with visible features such as jewel openings, train-wheel layouts, winding areas, screw holes, and other movement mounting points. Some pieces have serial numbers or other stamped markings. These vintage watch movement foundations would be useful to watchmakers, horologists, restoration enthusiasts, parts collectors, or steampunk/industrial-art creators. Individual plates may potentially correspond to specific vintage movements, but the exact manufacturers, calibers, and compatibility have not been determined. Condition: The pieces show considerable age and workshop/storage wear, including oxidation, tarnish, patina, scratches, discoloration, and surface residue. Some plates are incomplete or missing associated movement components. Individual parts have not been cleaned, tested, identified, or matched to specific movements. Please examine all photographs carefully for markings, condition, sizes, and completeness. Untested; sold as-is for repair, restoration, parts, display, or collection.
