Thanks to David whom send me the jpegs on the Seth Thomas, I found out the information pretty quick once i took the time to read it. Now to get it fixed, if any one has parts for this watch let me know please.

Francis, this one is a bit unusual as it seems to have capped escape wheeljewels. Parts, especially the proper escape wheel are going to be very hard to come by. The escape wheel will need to have conical pivots and since the 18/19 jewel versions of the Mdl.2 such as this one are very rare, it will be difficult. Being adjusted, translates to finer (smaller) balance wheel pivots, another tough find.
Does it have the double sunk dial?
If it was complete, it would be a very desireable movement to own.

According to the Guide, the Model 2 19J-21J "Henry Molineaux" (same as this but for a name) is a three star rare watch. Please reply what you have as far as parts. I do see the Pallet Fork in your picture, and that is a good start. As the plate screws are out, have you more parts for this that are "loose"?

This one you have came from a 100 piece run so it would be most interesting to see how many more were ever made! I am guessing that it is a 3 star or better, and eminently worth restoring.

Having a better look at the parts the Center Wheel bottom pivot is broken off. The rest of the parts seem to be in good working order. But the bottom balance wheel jewel do not have a hole in it, it seems that there is only one jewel. Also the Jewel on the balance wheel is non existance. The Cannon has the end of the balance pivot broken off in it and that is rusted together with the hands.

Dave I looked at the Henry Molineux beautiful piece of craftmanship.
This may be a stupid question, did any one else make after market parts for the Seth Thomas line of PW?
