Not marked on the movement: The movement on this Waltham was made sometime during November 1889 to February 1890. It was shipped to the UK and cased in England using a case made in Birmingham in 1888. This was not uncommon for a case and movement to be 12 or 18 months apart. The case was more than likely sat in storage for this period of time before being married to the movement.

Movement specification: 7 Jewels, Gilt, standard regulator, unadjusted. Grade Home

The movement does not run currently, awaiting a mainspring but is capable of running.
