Robert V. JonesEarly Waltham Help
Going through some movements to list I came across a few that when I looked them up on the site they appeared to be all wrong. First one is a model 72 with capped jewels and they claimed it was only a 15 jewel which I knew different but this one below in picture says it is a model 57 which doesnt look anything like a 57 but more like a 59. Does anyone have a different source to look this number up for me. #17698

Jared BrinkerRob-
Looks to be an 1860 model (16KW) 16s KW/KS from back Appleton tracy. Supposedly came in a silver case. ABP of $600 in my four year old book. I think my father has one too, but the cases are hard to find. Very good item still.

Robert V. JonesOh I thought it was a 18s as it is about 3mm larger than standard 16s

Robert V. JonesWell I just measured it and it is not quite as big as a 18s either. HUH I guess it might be a 16s as you say were they larger than the standard 16s

Edward KitnerRob, I believe this is an American Watch Co. KW16.
They look a lot like the 1868 model except for the click cresent at the key wind.

Bila WirriganwaltersDefinately a Kw16 model 1860 Rob, I have one my self, there is a few pictures of mine on the forums here. If the balance is intact on this I would be interested in buying it for spares if you are going to market it?
