S# 1,853 - Model 1858-D movement, circa 1859-60, with Type D plates (with cut-back barrel bridge), Reed's patent safety barrel, long regulator, 15 jewels in spun-in settings, compensated balance, and Type 2 dial. The 18K gold hunting case, S# 1,852, is embossed by "F. & Co.," for Fellows & Co., one of the consortium of five wholesale jewelry houses identified by Charles Crossman as having contracted to handle the factory's distribution for a period in the mid-1860's [3]. Howard made perhaps 200 movements with this style of cut-back barrel plate with S#'s between approximately 1,801 and 2,000.
