APW - Waltham, Appleton Tracy & Co, Model 1859, 15J, pre-Civil War era, 18S, coin silver OF Am Watch Co case, white enamel SS dial, polished spade hour and minute hands, KWKS, gilt mvt, s#36486. This watch is from a production run listed in Waltham factory records as having been finished in March of 1861, slightly predating the start of the American Civil War by only a matter of weeks.

DESCRIPTION:
APW - Illinois, Sangamo Special, 19J, 16S, gold-filled OF recase, Montgomery white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, jeweled barrel, diamond endstone, broad transverse band pattern nickel damascene, s#2575036. The diamond endstone is a scarce to rare feature among 19 jewel Sangamo Special production. The total production of all 19 jewel open face Sangamo Specials was 1300 made, and based on observed examples we believe the total production of these with diamond endstone to likely not be much greater than 300 made, as examples we have encountered have all fallen within the first two production runs, and we believe likely no more than a small quantity were potentially produced among the later 19 jewel open face runs.
CONDITION:
Mvt: Running, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, bright lustrous surfaces, scratch to barrel bridge adjacent plate screw between winding wheels, some short fine scratches at perimeter of balance cock, few mild fine to micro-fine scratches elsewhere, winding wheels and regulator assembly with some mild bits of oxide; dial with some fractures and hls to center section, hls to outer chapter; excellent mismatched hands, hour and minute are plum colored, seconds-hand is blue; case shows little wear, scattered small gouges to band, dent to band at 7; tight bow, crown shows light wear; glass crystal with some scratches.

APW - Waltham, Appleton Tracy & Co, Model 1857, 16J, 18S, coin silver OF pair style recase, nickel cuvette, white enamel SS dial, KWKS, gold jewel settings, nickel damascene, s#933061. A very unusual and intriguing piece, this is the only example of a Model 1857 Appleton Tracy & Co. with nickel damascene finish that we have encountered. This movement also has notably atypical features of gold jewel settings and jeweling to the upper end of its center wheel arbor. Please see our comments in the condition report for observations from a partial disassembly of the movement.
CONDITION:
Mvt: NR, fully wound, in the dial down position will tick for a few moments with a twist, when dial up will not tick at all with a twist, overhaul needed, mvt has been partially disassembled and we observe that plate finish is nickel throughout, damascene pattern is correctly matched among main plate, balance cock and barrel bridge, underside of balance cock is marked with s#1163, underside of balance wheel spars (arms) are not marked with any evident s#, underside of barrel bridge is marked with s#11 at one side and s#16 at the other, and visible surface under dial is marked with s#11163 and s#1163, this combination of consistent movement finish but inconsistent numbering suggests the possibility that this watch was either a factory employee's piece or was otherwise finished at Waltham outside of the course of regular production, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, some scattered fine to micro-fine scratches; dial with edge chip at 5, some small edge flakes elsewhere, faint hl above seconds-register; excellent hands; case shows medium wear, scratches and fine scratches, some shallow dents to rear, ding across rear/body seam at 3, few mild dings elsewhere; bow pivots freely; good glass crystal.

APW - N.Y. Chronograph Watch Co, New York, time only watch with center-seconds, 11-15J, 16S, 5 year gold-filled OF original case with attractive engraving detail, fancy white and yellow enamel dial with gold foil decorations, SW-LS, gilt mvt, s#174627. A good example of this scarce watch, it is believed that at most approximately 1000 examples of this 16 size N.Y. Chronograph Watch Co. model were produced with known examples having serial numbers dispersed through the 174,001 to 175,000 range. This example, like nearly all observed of the 16 size model, has a main plate that was machined to accept chronograph mechanism but is lacking chronograph components having been finished as a time only watch with center-seconds rather than as a chronograph. For further excellent info on this style of watch as well as others by Manhattan Watch Co. and N.Y. Chronograph Watch Co., we recommend Michael C. Harrold's excellent two-part article in the April and June 2010 issues of the NAWCC Bulletin.
CONDITION:
Mvt: Ticking somewhat sluggishly, sweep-seconds hand with choppy motion occasionally stalling and then skipping ahead two or more beats, overhaul recommended, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, some small fine scratches, regulator with some oxide, machined to accept a regulator spring but none is present; dial with scattered hls; fine hands, bend to tip of sweep-seconds-hand; case shows light wear, shallow denting to rear, reduced engraving detail, engine turning detail substantially reduced, slivers of wear to brass to raised ridges of case design and some spots of wear to brass to portions of high points of engraved detail; bow pivots freely, crown shows light wear; good glass crystal.
