According to an Online database its an 8th model. Cross referencing that with Swigarts American watch movements book the double roller staff would be 47607 also known as 1506/47633.

But since I am not an expert lets see if I got it correct before you order it.

Thanks to Jim and Brian for your input!!!I replaced a wobbly lower balance jewel but the balance is not seated with the cock in proper place so I am not sure if someone placed a staff too short or too much wear on staff

Its possible its the wrong staff as the correct one also fits the Bunn Special. Those staffs are sometimes hard to find. The 1684/47608 has the same dimensions except its shorter. 5.04mm instead of 5.32. If you have a micrometer it should be easy to check.

Mark I bought a box of staffs recently and 2 boxes of miscellaneous junk. The staff box is just great and as it happened the junk had 2 16s staffs for a Bunn Special in it and if you need one let me know.
