Might not be that uncommon but it's the first one I've come across.

Micheal, the gold tone center demaskeening is different from the other 12s Premiers I've seen.
Nice movement!

This is listed as a grade 239 model 1894. But sadly nothing is noted to distinguish the higher premium grade 2-tone finish which I expect is a rare variant of that grade.

Being a P (premium) finished 19 Jewel, my first thought is that it has a Jeweled motor barrel, and from the photo, the escape wheel appears to not be capped which would confirm that.

All these features (in my opinion) double the value and it would be really nice to case this in an original 1894 model screw marked period case.

I have a nice empty WGF Fahys eight sided case with 1894 marks. Big Grin The dial and hands are clean too. Took a chance on some bad ebay pictures and lucked out $53 Big Grin
