Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your watchcase was made by Charles Muston of 18, Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell. It was assayed at London in 1836/7.

The marks from left to right are, the Leopard's Head indicating the London Assay Office, the Crown above 18, indicating 18 ct. gold, and the London date letter for 1836/7.

Trev.
