I was recently contacted about old pocket watches. The question is two part. How did the locomotive designs get on cases, and how difficult would it be to hand engrave locomotive designs on a blank watch case?
I know that many of the 3D designs were done by die striking, but some custom ones must have been engraved. Of the ones hand engraved, were most shallow engraving with shading in the design for 3D effect, full 3D or mostly a 2D line look? Has anyone engraved pocket watch cases, and are there any recomendations or things to be careful about?
