Thanks for the additional information. Made my day. Its not an orphan any longer.

No gloom here. I liked it before and I still like it. I've got a drawer where watches like this reside. Every once and a while I'll take one out and mess around with it for the fun of it. Thanks for the reply.

I found this on Ebay a couple of weeks ago and thought it looked interesting. It was represented as possibly a J W Benson (didn't know who that was but liked the watch so I purchased it.) Pretty good shape other than sone ripples on the side of the case, a broken upper balance pivot and a broken...

Great photos. I finally found a model 7 last night and its on its way. Right now I have either 6 or 7 18s Seth Thomas movements stored away. The one I purchased has a fair case so I may attempt to put another together from my spare movements. Thanks again.

Hi Richie, Short answer, No. I was up in the mountains, Staunton, Waynesboro, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Augusta County, Nelson County, Rockingham County areas. I Know of one shop that had about 10 pocket watches that they were selling as gold (at gold prices) and appeared to be as...

I recently acquired an 18s Seth Thomas Grade 36, model 6, Serial 552459, (eagle on the top plate) at a small antique store in Virginia while on vacation. I'm having a hard time finding a complete replacement 4th wheel for it. Upper pivot is totally gone. Anyone have one or know where I might...

Thanks for the response. The photo by Enrico is very close to what I have. The biggest difference is that the one I have has the escape wheel mounted under the plate rather than under a finger. Runs strong. Any idea where I could possibly obtain the original type of case and stem that was used...

I've been searching E-bay and some other sites for quite some time to identify the maker of this movement. In comparison to other movements that I have observed, I am led to believe that this may have been produced by the Agassiz Watch Co, in the late 1800s to early 1900s. (Also, with better...

Re: Illinois private-labels I also have a Iowa Watch Co , Star of the West, 18s,11 jewel, model 3, grade 101, serial number 217162. Its housed in a Illinois Watch Case Co swing out case and is either pendant or key wind and lever let. I've forgotten what I replaced on this watch but I do...

Sorry, I've never uploaded nor taken pictures with my IPad before.

I recently bought a few loose movements from a shop here in Las Vegas. One was a Moore & Ledine, Washingtion, DC movement. Serial number 69176, approx. 41.1 mm, lever set, looks to be 15 jewels,adjusted. Does anyone know anything about this movement. Runs but need a good cleaning, so I might try...

Thanks, I'll throw it into my junk drawer and probably abuse it later.

I recently purchased what was described as an Elgin Travel pocket watch. It has a inner square outer case that is incased in an outer square case that splits in half from the front left bottom to the top right, with a push button release. Looks to be a wrist watch size movement. Does anyone know...

Thanks for the information, it was pretty much what I expected, but being fairly new to repairing and collecting pocket watches, I wanted to make sure I was on the right path. Thanks again.

I was on vacation this past week in Virginia and came across an 18s Waltham William Ellery pocket watch, running slow and intermittent. I purchased it for about $150. mainly because I don't have one. On disassembly two of the brass faceplate pins fell out of the movement. After a cleaning and...

Thanks for the info. I don't know whether its the better or the worse , but it does have a made in Hong Kong movement. Still its a good looking watch and I'll probably use it as a work watch. Thanks

I recently acquired a Waltham wristwatch for the princely sum of $9.00. This is the first wristwatch that I have attempted to bring back to life and I need a bit of help identifying what I have. The case has the number Y826-855 on the outside and what appears to be a 7YVO 2 jewel quartz...

Thanks Graham, It's a beautifully cased little watch, but it will only run dial down. Think I'll just keep it as it is and enjoy it for it's beauty. Thanks
