Job Number 220082

This 18 size Elgin includes a latching cam that can lock the movement in winding mode to facilitate adjustment of the bare movement without the case. A "negative setting" movement like this goes into setting mode when removed from the case making rate adjustment problematic. These little parts are often missing from these watches.

The movement is a grade 208, 18 size, 7 jewels, made about 1900.

The first full wind after assembly broke the mainspring. Well better now than after it's sent home.
