My 187

Close up of 187 info

Metinks that your second photo is a mirror image???

Not that it really matters - apart from the engravings under the balance wheel, everything else in your first photo appears to be very legible.

David,
I was trying to show that my 187 was engraved under the balance wheel-Illinois Watch Co.--Springfield.

I bought this Ariston a while back it is in the same block as the other Ariston that I have noted in the data base. 1572852

Here is a better picture of the markings.

17 Ruby Jewel Double Roller, Adjusted 5 Position,

Ariston

Very unusually this Grade 187 is marked like No other that has been seen or recorded before. The others are marked 5 or 6 position.

This one is marked Positions only. I tried to win auction. Hopefully some one on this site won it.
