• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

I just picked this up over the weekend. I estimate it to be from 1875-1880 unless I’m mistaken. It’s in pretty dire condition, both springs are broken, the strike side of the case is loose from the spring breaking, and someone tried doing something to the spring with duct tape! I’ll be ordering a couple springs and can’t wait to tear into this!

While I wait on my mainsprings, can anyone tell me if my estimated age is close? I know very little about Waterbury movements!
