16S CPR RR WATCH
Here is a very nice 16 size Model 1908 Waltham Canadian Pacific Railroad pocket watch. The serial number is 22294106 in a run from 22294001-200 according to the Waltham Pocket Watch Identification and Price Guide of 1976 by Roy Ehrhardt. The Price Guide to Watches Vol. NO 23 rates this movement as a 3 STAR which translates to VERY FEW. In the Canadian Pacific RR Pocket Watches the 16 size movement is much more scarce than the 18 size movement.
I have an 18 size Canadian Pacific RR watch also and these are a favorite part of my collection. There is something magic about the Canadian Rail Road to me. Maybe it is the beautiful countryside that this railroad traverses. Smile

Hey, Phil . . .

I recently acquired sn 22155931 (22155800-22156000) which is virtually identical to yours except that it is cased in a very similar (but for the triple hinge) Cashier Extra (Canadian) case. Certainly not it's twin or even a bother or sister, but perhaps a closely related cousin - eh ??

btw, in a rather cursory manual search of the serial numbers, I only found three additionl runs totaling another 750 for a grand total of only 1,150 produced.

Yours & mine are the only two that I've personally seen in the 16s.

Phil -

I wish I could - but - I don't have my camera with me at the moment & I'm on my way out-of-town for a few days. I'll try to get something up asap upon my return . . .
