Manufacturer: Waltham Manufacturer Location: Waltham, Massachusetts Movement Serial Number: 6676910 Grade: No. 1 Estimated Production Year: 1895–1898 Size: 18s Jewels: 7 Movement Configuration: Open Face Movement Finish: Nickel Movement Setting: Pendant
Movement: Runs excellent and keeps reasonable time! Not sure when it was serviced last. Therefore, we recommend having it serviced by a competent watchmaker for daily use.
Case: About 60 mm (2-3/8 inches) wide, this nice "Silverode" case is in good shape. Nickel cases were common in American watchmaking for several decades because they were less expensive and very durable. The front and back covers thread on and off as they should. The bow and crown are in good condition as well. The plastic crystal shows well.
Dial: The Roman numeral dial appears perfect to the naked eye. Upon close inspection, a faint hairline is visible near the XII-hour mark. The beautifully matched hands are also in excellent shape, as seen in photos.
