I was just in the link for movement containers... [changed "holders" to "containers" for clarification] https://ihc185.infopop.cc/eve/forums?a=tpc&s=3206049661&f=3006013713&m=1626046694 ...and plan to get them, but I also need other sizes. Can someone give me a site for sizes other than 18 and 16? Or do they even make them? Thank you, | ||

Hi Sheila, To my knowledge the McGinnis Brothers developed something unique here. I use the 16-size for smaller movements as well. They work just fine. You can find the old, metal ones in smaller sizes, but I like the clean, clear plastic McGinnis Brothers product best. Be sure to say "Hi" to Don for me. Lindell  | |||

Thank you Lindell, I will get more now, knowing their safe for the small ones too. I was going to get a bunch of them but wasn't sure if I should use them for the small ones. I like these, they look nice and "healthy" I will pass on the Hello with my order. Thanks again, Sheila | |||

I should also point out these remarkable containers are perfect to hold various small items in a clean, safe enviornment. They have a variety of uses! | |||

Sheila, They are called Watch Movement Shipping Cases, clear plastic, sold in packages of one dozen.  They also are great to store dials, screws, small parts in. Here's a K. & D. movement holder photo: | |||

You make an excellent point Wayne! Another instance where the same name may have more tham one meaning. The image you show is a device that holds the movement during service, therefore it truly is a movement holder. The McGinnis Brothers product and others related to them, perhaps are most correctly called "movement containers" as that might be the most descriptive and non-confusing term for them. They replicate the shipping tins of the old days in a modern form but have a gazillion other uses as well. Thanks for helping clarify this, Lindell | |||

Lindell, I believe that this was a factory shipping container. From the American Waltham Watch Co., and came in 12, 14, 16, and 18size.  | |||

And the movement container would have been placed in another container for shipping:  | |||
