Bila WirriganwaltersWaltham Grade 40, How Many were Non Magnetic?
Hi All,
Would anyone be able to shed light on how many of the Waltham Grade 40's of the 4,000 made were marked " Non-Magnetic"?
Thanks to All,
Bila

David AbbeBila, factory records for the grade 40 Waltham model 1883, 2,000 were lever set and 2,000 were pendant set, but the only "non-Magnetic" models listed are Waltham model 1894.
Please clarify what movement (and S/N?) you are asking about.

Bila WirriganwaltersThanks David, the serial#5739364 it is a Model 1883 O/F Gilt movement, pendant set with a radial numbered dial. It is marked "Non Magnetic" across the barrel bridge.
Cheers,
Bila

Ken HabeebBila --
Here's a model 1883, A.T. & Co. that is "non-magnetic." s#4528783. They could be considered one-star watches for the relatively small number so marked. They actually are not, but they're worth twice what a non-marked model '83 brings in similar condition.
Do you have photos of movement and dial for us?
