Jim Bielefeldt1883Waltham info please
I have an 1883 13j 18s Waltham, serial number 3324317. When I looked it up on an online database it says that there were only 1000 of these made, all in 1887. I am wondering is someone can verify that out of a book or if its just the number of them made in 1887 and thousands were made in other years.
Thanks in Advance.

Jim BielefeldtThanks Phil,
But it looks like we got the same info, probably from the same site. Perhaps someone will have some info from a offline source.

Phillip SanchezJim the reason that I thought you might have a different source is that you have it as a 13 jewel and I found it as an 11 jewel.

Jim BielefeldtSorry, my mistake, I miscounted. It is an 11 jewel movement.

Jerry KingHello Jim....
Your watch is an 11 jewel, Mdl 1883, grade No. 3, made in a run of 1000 starting at 6-1-1887 ending on 9-30-1887....
In total there were 81 runs with a total production of 87,400 units being made up until 1898....

Jim BielefeldtThanks Jerry,
Thats why I wanted to check with an offline source. Sometimes these online databses dont give you all the info. Still a nice watch.
