Rick FarmerBurlington Special, Getty model
I find myself attracted to the Getty models lately as they are great timekeepers. Ran this one for about 3 days and did not lose a minute.
It has a few flaws but overall decent condition, couple of lines on dial and small chip @ 45 in seconds bit.
Case shows wear with no dings etc.

Serial# 2456821, circa 1912
16 size
19 jewel Getty model, Hunter Case
Grade 185, Model 4, lever set

Rick FarmerGents, as matter of interest regarding positions, would that most likely be stem up, stem left and right?

Tim PooveyThat is pretty Rick, very nice! I love those Getty models also. I had one in an Illinois display case at one time, I wish a hundred times I would have never sold it. It is just something about that model.
