Job Number 180082

This one is an Elgin grade 44, 18 size, 15 jewels, made about 1891.

I have mentioned about a few watches recently how the post for the gear between the main wheel and the ratchet wheel is sometimes held in place with divots.

This one doesn't have that.

However for some reason part of the lever at the other end has been stamped with a punch to lengthen that portion. It's not immediately clear what problem this resolved.

Here is another image made using a micro LED inside the movement as a light source. I think this will work out really well with some watches.
