S# 4,904 - An unusual early Model 1862-N movement with ray damascened finish - an early appearance for this style of finish. The factory ledgers suggest there were several ray damascened Model 1862 movements in the very first run of 100, beginning at S# 3,301. Other quality features on S# 5,703 include screwed down train jewel settings, a compensated balance, and Mershon's patented compound regulator. The factory ledgers also indicate that this movement was fully adjusted to temperature, isochronism and positions. The movement is housed in an original 18K gold hunting case with engine turned interior case lid and engraved bezel, stamped "J.M.H.," for J. M. Harper.
