I grabbed it out of his hand, told him that I'd buy it and made the deal. Well, it does run and keeps accurate time, but...

    Unusual Waltham marking

    Thanks for your insight Steven. I could only think that by marking the movement with the case makers trade mark, it would cause the two to be sold together. As you know, movements and cases were sold seperately during these times.

    Unusual Waltham marking

    I got an American Watch Co 18 size watch today that is marked in a way that I've never seen. It's in a Crescent watch case co. gold filled case that's marked patent applied for 22.79.

    Howard/Keystone 16s 23 jewel motor barrel

    Thanks Larry-I will be more careful from now on when using these terms. I'm sure glad this Howard watch I just got has a jeweled barrel instead of the later jeweled banking pins. This is a nice watch but $90.00 for a gold filled 23 jewel railroad approved watch had to be crazy money in 1909. I...

Mainsprings...
