S# 15,703 - Model 1862 movement, circa 1866-67. Another fine example of asymmetric ray damascening, this time on a gilded, damascened Model 1862-N movement with the later style of Mershon's patent regulator and flush, screwed down jewel settings. The balance wheel has moved underneath the center wheel, enabling a reduction in the overall movement thickness of about 0.6 millimeters. The 18K gold hunting case is embossed "M. & B.," probably for Middleton & Brother.
