Waltham model 1892 Riversides and Royals

[Joe Kendall]

I would like to know just where the Riverside and Royal models fit in the Waltham model 1892 price lineup. I have seen old price lists that contain the Vangaurd, Crescent St. 845, AT & C, and PS Bartlett but never the Riverside and Royal models. Does anyone have a reference to a price list on where these fit in the line up?

On page 109 of Roy Erhardt's "American Pocket Watch Encyclopedia and Price Guide, Volume 1" he reproduces a catalog page from 1899 that shows the entire line of 1892 models. It shows the Vanguard for $87.50, the Crescent St. for $62.50, the Appleton, Tracy & Co. for $46.25, the Riverside for $46.25, and the Royal for $31.35. On p.110 he shows the non-magnetic grade No.45 (mis-labeled 845) which was priced the same as the Crescent St.
