watches Sr 1 to Sr 233000 (as per Roy's book,
1976. No Grade assigned. From pictures: Nickle
plated with some wavy damaskeen lines. Hairspring
stud holder is mounted on 3/4 plate (as opposed to
balance cock). hairspring is FLAT. Balance has 2
olive jewels and 2 cap jewels. I assume there is
a roller jewel and 2 pallet jewels. Pallet fork
bridge is 'not' jeweled. Escape wheel and 3rd
wheel are jeweled (making 11 jewels total).
Engraved on 3/4 plate "R. W. Co. Rockford Ill".
Printed on Dial is "Ingersol & Sheppard" with
"Carbondale, ILLS." underneath. Also engraved on
3/4 plate (near center wheel pivot) is "Patent
Pinion". Plate screws are BLUE. Movement only,
not in a case. Item# 152865057862
