Eric WellsWaltham Model 1883 16 Jewel
I picked up this Waltham yesterday in Salisbury, MA. It is a Model 1883, Grade 84, ser. no. 7866034, dating from 1896, marked 16 Jewels. This particular watch is the PS unadjusted version, the most common of the 3900 or so produced. I understand there were a few hundred adjusted examples and a handful of lever set watches made. An interesting addition to my little collection.
