Here is a movement I found while digging in my yard. Not really, I found it going through a watch lot I purchased. The plates say, Wallace & Simmons Providence, R.I. Pat d Dec. 6, 87. Anyone know the maker of this movement? Thanks, Brian C. | |||

Brain, Appears to me as a Seth Thomas Mdl 2 | ||||

John, I think you're right. The only thing is that it's an 11 jewel, nickel, h/c movement and the Seth Thomas Book doesn't list an 11j nickel movement in the model 2. Thanks, Brian C. | ||||

I agree with John, 18s, model 2, Seth Thomas. Kenny | ||||

Brian, It is listed in "The Beginning to End" book by Ehrhardt as grade "156"; (18s - 11j - HN2L - U - "156" - (EA 806) The gilt model is grade "56"; (18s - 11j - HG2L - U - "56" - (EA 806) Kenny | ||||

Just as a follow-up... The Seth Thomas section in the "Complete Guide to Watches" shows a similar movement on page 394 of the current 2005 Edition. It is described as "Seth Thomas Model 2, 18 size Hunting" in the caption. | |||
