Tom Brunton19J. BW Raymond up-down indicator
Just a little beauty a chap brought to my door today. I'd never seen the Wadsworth case mark "permanent" before. I did a bit of research and found it about where I expected though , between 25 year guaranteed and solid gold. Anyways a beauty mint condition case with a 2-6-2 (thanks to Mark's sharp eyes) Prairie steam locomotive on the back,serial # 20408365 ,1917 I think. It seems almost unused with no screw marks ,no other casing marks,and just one service mark between "permanent" and the serial number which my old eyes at first did not see,LOL,
