I won a large box of US pocket watches balances, partsfrom EBAY. For me US pocket watches are 80% Elgin and Waltham. I received completely different parts. I hope somebody is able to inform me to which pocket watch these parts belongs.
Thank you. Bulent

I see that the balances are solid not spilt like most of the american balances are, probaly swiss balances,,The wheels with the heart shaped cams are probaly from a chronograph watch .
Maybe someone else can give you some more info but that,s my guess.
These appear to be single roller balances. Not knowing the diameter and judging from the excessive balance weighting I suggest they are for a timer or other device not used for serious timkeeping but rather bombs or stopwatches.
