Does anyone know if there was a paticular serial number run that the 16s Model 1872 Walthams with the square roller jewel were produced within or were they spread out across various production runs?

Just bumping this back up the list due to no respone, Can any one enlighten me?

Thanks

Are you sure some one did not use a pallet jewel.

Definately a square roller jewel Gene, a few of these were made with it, as well as some models having the Sawtooth balnace & square roller jewel. Just interested in how many were made and what serial number range they might have been in, thats if they weren't randomly done through-out the 1872 model' serial number range.

Also I forgot to mention that they had "Woerds Patent" engraved under the balance.

Generally speaking, the earlier the production date, the more likely the chance of a square roller jewel. It's not possible to pin down a certain run or serial number with regard to a square roller jewel or many other features on a 72. Small numbers produced over a long timespan meant many small varations over the years. It's one of the reasons collecting 72's is so rewarding.

Thanks for the info Harry, I will keep looking for more, the thrill of searching and or finding something special is always a buzz.
