185. APW - E Howard & Co, Boston, model 1858-A (Geller system), series I, N-S (just over 19S), heavy coin silver "D&Co" recased OF with silver cuvette (perhaps Duhme & Co, Cincinnati, active 1871-1889), KWKS, restored WE-SSD with two-line arched signature, lever escapement, 15J, gilt mvt, s#842, assembly #42. Gross weight of assembled watch 100.8 dwt (156.7 g). Estimate: $500 - $1,000

186. APW - E Howard & Co, Boston, model 1858-A (Geller system), series I, N-S (just over 19S), unusual Swiss 14K red gold OF drum-style recase with squirrel hallmarks, gold cuvette drilled widely after the fact for winding and setting, KWKS, WE-SSD with two-line signature, lever escapement with upright pallets, 15J, gilt mvt, s#1277. Gross weight of assembled watch 70.8 dwt (110.2 g). The balance cock, unlike all but the earliest series I Howards, has consistent assembly #77. Finding a Swiss gold case in American style is quite odd, this one with back opening that is an ideal fit, the front equipped with sizing ring and locator hole, frictioned in and concealing the prior locator notch for an original Swiss mvt that was stem-wind pin-set. The matching of the pendant and concealment of the pin were perfectly executed, the winding holes not so well done, and there is still play front to back that could be perfected with a thicker sizing ring. Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000

187. APW - E Howard & Co, Boston, model 1858-B (Geller system), series I with type B plates identified by Geller as having only three lenticular cutouts, N-S (just over 19S), coin silver Dueber recased HC, the silver cuvette cut out to allow winding, setting and observation, KWKS, WE-SSD with single-line block signature, lever escapement, 15J, gilt mvt, s#1481, matching assembly #81 under cock. Gross weight of assembled watch 78.8 dwt (122.6 g). Estimate: $500 - $1,000

188. APW - E Howard & Co, Boston, s#419, assembly #69 throughout, series I, model 1858-A (Geller system), N-S (just over 19S), warranted coin silver recased HC with ET silver cuvette, expertly plugged and redrilled, gold hinges, KWKS, WE-SSD with two-line arched signature, lever escapement with upright pallets, 15J, gilt mvt. Our recent accumulated serial and assembly numbers for model 1858 include s#404-(54) and the present watch, s#419-(69), which would be consistent with the beginning of this assembly run at s#351-(01), but s#453-(#93) is off by ten numbers, leaving an unexplained gap. Gross weight of assembled watch 86.9 dwt (135.0 g). Estimate: $1,500 - $2,600

189. APW - E Howard & Co, Boston, s#701 in original gold, the 601st watch produced, assembly #51 under cock, series I, model 1858-A (Geller system), N-S (just over 19S), 14K tested "B&M'C" stamped original HC with American eagle hallmark, ET gold cuvette, KWKS, WE-SSD with two-line arched script signature, original lever escapement with solid gold balance, pallets in the same plane as the escape wheel, original adjustable banking pins by the tail, the brass pins mounted in polished steel, maintaining power spring between the plates, 15J, gilt mvt. Gross weight of assembled watch 92.0 dwt (143.0 g). Case originality is confirmed by the single locator pin and single case-hole at 43 minutes, the small original case half-screw impression matching the diameter of the impression under the second larger replacement case-screw with perfect concentricity, the only alteration being the replaced lift spring that utilizes the original hole with replaced screw holding against the face of the spring. This exceptional original gold cased series I example further demonstrates that the new design of lever escapement probably started with s#651, assembly #01, abandoning both the upright pallets and the front plate hole provisions for under-dial maintaining power spring. The unknown casemaker's mark has been reported on another keywind watch, marked "Greenwich Timekeeper" on face, s#24487, as well as another timepiece at auction in 2015. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000

192. APW - E Howard & Co, Boston, model 1858-E (Geller system), series II, N-S (just over 19S), heavy quality Ladd-style GF purpose-manufactured HC bearing J Boss 25-year crowned-scales marking, KWKS, WE-SSD with two-line signature, lever escapement with adjustable banking pins by pallet tail, 15J, gilt mvt, s#2626. Gross weight of assembled watch 91.8 dwt (142.7 g). James Boss of Philadelphia operated from 1860-1864 before consolidating with other ventures, his name eventually appearing in Keystone J Boss marked cases with the same crowned or uncrowned stampings. Attributed to James Boss alone, just when this marking was introduced we cannot yet say, but certainly the case is later than the mvt, fits perfectly, and has no signs of any recasing whatsoever. Mounted internally, one case screw has plenty of room behind a case spring to fully engage the lip, while on the opposite side, travel of the opposing screw is limited by the spring, but still catches securely. One might prefer to see a milled space in the case-spring for full engagement of the screw. The case is in beautiful condition, with elegantly engraved monogram on one side and the probable date of case manufacture, 1885, on the other. Estimate: $600 - $1,000

217. APW - Illinois Bunn Special with DeLong escapement, 16S, nickel alloy Illinois Watch Co display case marked on both sides, SW-LS, Montgomery WE-DSD, fully capped DeLong lever escapement with D-form upright pallets (literally "downright," as they point downward from the back, with the pallet plane above the plane of the escape wheel), 21J 6P adjusted for temperature, GJS, GT, radiant step pattern NI damascene, s#3208055. The Charles DeLong escapement has numerous interesting features, and still has the potential to be one of the best lever escapement designs ever produced. Use of upright D-shaped pallet stones has the advantage of engaging the escape wheel tooth tangentially, thereby increasing the normal draw angle from 12 degrees to 27 degrees. Similar to the Brocot escapement for clocks, this means that there will be less recoil when the stone is lifted away from the tooth, resulting in more efficient transmission of power to the balance. As well, the pallet itself has spring-clip ends that allow the stones to be staked in position without any dependence on pitch (cement). It is thought that about 100 watches were produced with this escapement, but many were converted back to standard lever escapements because, following disassembly, the depthing between the upright pallet and escape wheel, being more critical than in traditional lever escapement, could be thrown off if the hole jewels were not installed in the same position, owing to typical eccentricity errors. The lower escape wheel hole jewel has a punch mark on the setting that must correspond to a punch mark on the pillar plate to achieve proper depthing. To answer that problem, DeLong patented use of eccentric pivots on the friction pallet arbor that would allow depthing adjustment, and also a device for truing jewel settings, which typically had some eccentricity as produced in those days. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000
