Waltham Movement Identification Help Needed

[Bruce_M]

I have a Waltham pocket watch from 1891-2, (serial number 5,400,XXX.) It is either a 14 or 16 size and it is a low jewel count movement. American Waltham Watch Co and safety pinion are engraved on the movement. What model movement is this and what mainspring number woukd be correct? What is the power reserve? Thank you.

According to the Waltham Pocket Watch Identification and Price Guide, which is still available from: www.hoapress.com (http://www.hoapress.com) , your serial number is in the run of 4,000 watches, serial numbers 5400001 – 5404000, model 84, size 14, 7 jewel, Hillside grade. Stem wind, lever set, Htg Case.

I don't have the spec's for the main spring, but I am sure somebody will help you by posting that information.

This watch has a stem wind and stem set movement. Is it still an 1884 movement?
