Francis-
#666779 is a Model 1, grade 2 or 2-S, 11 jewels, simple regulator, key-wind and set, hunter case, made in 1886.

#835924 is a Model 1, grade I.W.Co. or I.W.Co.-S, 7 jewels, simple regulator, KWKS, HC, made in 1888.

I'm not sure what the "-S" is in grade Confused, perhaps someone else knows.

They should keep you busy!

Regards,
Bob
