Note: The quality is much much higher. Not sure what
else is off
Curator Response: A 7-Jewel movement would have beeen the lowest quality and cheapest 6-Size movement Waltham produced at the time. In a 1895 catalog, the Grade J movement could be purchased for $11.25 while the top-grade "S" demanded $50.00.
