Anna L. Silveira retailed 16 Size Gold-Filled Hunter Case Pocket Watch, ca. 1913. Renowned as a San Francisco jeweler and watch importer, Anna L. Silveira established her shop at 76 Jackson Street in the city’s historic waterfront district in the late 19th century. At a time when few women entered the jewelry and watch trade, Silveira distinguished herself as one of the city’s rare female proprietors, catering to a clientele that valued both craftsmanship and trust. Her shop offered fine American and Swiss timepieces, and surviving examples of watches signed with her name are scarce, making them of particular interest to collectors of Western horology and women’s history.The case is crafted in gold-filled metal, guaranteed 10 years, with a richly chased hunter’s case featuring floral and scroll engraving, central cartouche, and decorative borders, 16 size.The movement is a stem-wind, lever-set nickel-finished movement, serial number 17927442, with damascened plates, safety pinion, and regulator, likely a 15-jewel example by the Elgin National Watch Company.The dial is a fancy multicolor enamel, featuring black Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds dial at 6, and pink-and-gilt decorative accents, with blued spade hands.
