Another one of the named grades is the Monarch Watch Co. This example is fronted by a signed Roman-numeral dial: ![]() | ||||
Backing that dial is a signed Grade 189 Model 5 - a two-tone lever-set 17-jewel movement: ![]() | ||||
Tucked away in a Crescent "goat" case: ![]() | ||||

Just bought this on ebay: 7J Seth T. What have I got? Was it worth $35? Dave Turner | |||

Dial Ser. No. 754201 Does this qualify as a 2 tone? Dave Turner | |||
If it runs it's certainly worth more than what you paid for it, Dave. You've got a nice example of a two-tone Model 8 in the "fried egg" pattern. | ||||

Thanks Eric, I don't think it runs, but it looked to be all original to me, so I thought I'd take a chance on it. I'll let you know when I get it. Got any extra hands laying around? Dave Turner | |||
Dave, I've only got medium spade-and-poker hands for Model 5s, which would be incorrect for this watch. You need a matching light spade hand for this Model 8. Try our own Brian Cavanaugh. | ||||

Thanks for looking Eric, I'll contact Brian. Dave Turner | |||
One of my assumptions that Seth Thomas didn't assign a grade number to every individual pattern is because there are simply too many patterns. Here is another pattern within the total of 80 numbers blocked for the two-tone 24-jewel variant of the Maiden Lane: ![]() | ||||
Fronting is the red and black 24-hour Arabic radial dial with matching spade-and-poker hands: ![]() | ||||
All wrapped up in a handsome Philadelphia case with a blank cartouche: ![]() | ||||

Oh my God! I think I just blew out an optic nerve! William | |||
Thanks, William. ![]() The Edgemere is one of the lesser named grades, but unlike the Century line can be found in both nickel and two-tone, and in jewel counts from 7 to 17. This fully-jewelled Model 8 was top shelf for the Edgemere: ![]() | ||||
Fronting that movement is a marked red-and-black Roman dial with matching light spade hands: ![]() | ||||
The Model 4 key-wind parts list: ![]() | ||||
The Model 4 was the Seth Thomas company's primary keywind movement. Though the Model 2 hunter could occasionally be found with a keyed barrel, the Model 4 was produced in 20 separate runs with a total production of around 12,400 watches. A very exciting example - a Model 4 from the very first run, and with a gold-plated upper plate. All the serial numbers match on this 7-jewel veteran from the year 1887. Simplicity itself - a barrel, a train, and a balance. No setting gears, no yoke, no lever, and no stem arbor: ![]() | ||||
Fronted by a cursive signature with matching hands: ![]() | ||||
Wrapped up in a hulking triple-hinged Keystone case: ![]() | ||||
