A WALTHAM, YES, BUT WHAT IS IT? Thank you Brian.
Serial dates it at 1907-08. 17j, Adj. It has a Crescent Street style regulator but is not marked Crescent Street any where. I have not opened it up yet. It was in a OF Silveroid, swing out case with an Elk on the back. Movement is 45.80 mm. It is stem wind, Stem set but the case appears to have had a lever set in it at one time. It's very clean and runs right on time. I know the watchmaker that serviced it in 1957 but he is now 98 and does not remember much. I can not find it in the big book. Any ideas?

Thanks Brian. Guess I'm going to have to get some more charts so I can look this stuff up myself.
