This one came back to me after a few years, suddenly not running at all. Oddly, it had no power on the escape wheel. Without complete disassembly, I found a tiny speck of something hard, possibly an almost invisible chip of glass or clear plastic, or maybe something else. The debris was jammed in the 3rd wheel pinion. It's ticking away fine now.
Waltham Number 6553856, 6 size, 16 jewels, 1894 model.
