& Dust Covers Scrap Lot 4pc. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (c. 1890s–1920), this 4-piece salvage lot of antique gold-filled and metal pocket watch case backs, cuvettes, and covers features elaborate Victorian and Edwardian engine-turned pinstriping, scrollwork, floral cartouches, and personalized engravings—including a "June 25, 1920" presentation date. Manufactured by the Congress Watch Case Co. and various Swiss or American makers, the pieces range from 1.0 to 2.0 inches in diameter and display period stamps such as "CONGRESS W.C. CO. WARRANTED 15 YEARS" (serial 3610008), "WARRANTED 20 YEARS" (serial 1691682), and detailed horological movement markings on the "METAL"-stamped cuvette. Offered as-is for watch restoration, horological parts, or jewelry upcycling without movements, crystals, or front bezels, the lot presents in mixed salvage antique condition with age-appropriate wear including surface scratching, brassing, gold-plate loss, tarnish, small edge dents, and minor warping along the interior cuvette rims.
