Belt Holder Appraisal

Harley-Davidson Pocket Watch with Leather Belt Holder

This item is a Harley-Davidson branded pocket watch, presented with its accompanying black leather belt watch holder. The pocket watch features a silver-toned, possibly chrome or polished base metal, casing with a highly reflective surface, indicative of good polish or minimal wear. The watch face is visually striking, with a multi-colored design. It has a black outer ring with white Arabic numeral hour markers, and an inner ring that appears to be orange or light brown, potentially featuring the Harley-Davidson bar-and-shield logo or a stylized 'H-D' in the center. The hands are visible, with a prominent orange hour hand and a black minute hand, suggesting good contrast for legibility. The watch has a hunter-style case, meaning it has a hinged cover that protects the crystal and dial; this cover is open in the image, revealing an intricately engraved design on its interior, which appears to be a motorcycle or a rider on a motorcycle, surrounded by some text or decorative elements. The hinged mechanism seems robust, and the cover aligns well with the main body. The crown, used for setting the time, is visible at the 12 o'clock position (when the watch is closed), and it is topped by a decorative bail (loop) for attachment to a chain or, in this case, the leather holder. The bail itself is ornate, possibly featuring a a skull or winged design, consistent with Harley-Davidson's iconic imagery. The pocket watch is positioned within a custom-fitted black leather holder, designed to be worn on a belt. The leather appears thick and durable, with an embossed 'HARLEY-DAVIDSON' logo across the front, beneath a smaller 'MOTOR' wordmark closer to the top. The stitching on the leather holder appears even and secure. The overall condition of both the watch and holder appears very good, with no visible significant scratches, dents, or signs of heavy use, suggesting it may have been well-maintained or lightly used. The estimated age is likely contemporary or vintage, post-1980s, given the branding and specific style. The quality of craftsmanship for a branded novelty item seems above average, with attention to detail in the watch face design, case engraving, and the custom leather accessory.
