Note: I am disagreeing with the description primarily
due to the micro adjuster I have documented. It
is not the typical traveling nut. I have never
seen another HH Taylor with this design. There
must be other examples. I cruse e-bay all the
time. I have just never seen another. So, for
what its worth it is here to see. If you click on
my Handel (pocketwatch101). You will go to my
collection. I attempt to describe the other photo
of this watch. A screw within a screw. Also
unique to all HH Taylor's lever sets of this
vintage.
