• RARE PHILADELPHIA COLONIAL COIN SILVER
  RARE PHILADELPHIA COLONIAL COIN SILVER POCKET WATCHPennsylvania, c. 1771-1777, coin silver double case, inner and outer cases with marks probably for Joseph Carman (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, working 1771-1777), 42mm inner case, 49mm outer case, Roman and Arabic numeral hour marks, beetle and poker hands, verge fusee movement, movement engraved "Laure Birnie, Philad, No. 38", three watch papers: one without markings; one marked "506/Dec 4-1843"; one "A. McKinley,/Clock & Watch Maker,/Washington Pa." Note: Laurence Birnie was a watchmaker who had emigrated to America from Ballymoney, Ireland in 1774, with only a brief stopover in England. At age 22, he set up shop on Philadelphia?s Second Street, in the same trade for which he apprenticed under his father and brothers, ?making and repairing all sorts of repeating, horizontal and plain watches.? Historically important is that Birnie, finding himself at the primary intersection of Revolutionary conflict, chose to align himself with the American cause, fashioning files that were crucial in the manufacture of lockworks on firearms, a skill that no doubt came naturally to the steady handed watchmaker. By 1776 Birnie had become the captain of a Philadelphia militia company. Under his service was a young artist named Charles Willson Peale at the rank of lieutenant. Peale went on to assume the role of captain from Birnie, who was not well at the time, and in the winter of 1776 famously crossed the Delaware River with General Washington?s army in what Peale described as ?the most hellish scene I have ever beheld.? There exists, from around this same time, a portrait miniature of Laurence Birnie by the hand of Charles Willson Peale. It is obvious the admiration Birnie commanded from his men who served with him. In the subsequent years, Birnie unceremoniously returned to Ireland to settle outstanding debts on his family?s land. That examples of Birnie?s work remain with us to this day from such a tumultuous time in our nation?s infancy is a testament to their lasting importance. Loomes, Brian, and G. H. Baillie.
