This is a Vintage G-S Watch Crystal Inserting Set HP-5 Crystal Insertion Tool. From my dad's collection of watchmakers' tools. In addition to inserting crystals, Dad also used this to close wristwatch case backs and bezels.
It looks like Dad took the original cardboard box and placed it inside a nice wooden box with a slide top. The set appears to be in exellent condition, missing however one Rubber Bumper #0 and one Die #14. I have no idea how important these two items are.
Dad was an amateur watch/clock repairman. He used to buy old clocks and watches at flea markets, repair them, and then sell them. I am slowly selling off his collection of watches, clocks, and tools. I am selling this set as is. I personally know nothing regarding how complete it is, nor what it may be missing. I priced this based on what others are selling similar products for on eBay.
My mom collected antiques her entire life. She loved going to flea markets and thrift stores in search of hidden treasures. Now that she has passed I am selling off her collection.
