S# 133 - The consecutive S# to item #1, a Model 1858-O divided plate movement with unique, Type O [1] plates. It is also a 17-jewel First Run movement with an engraved pallet bridge (as only the First Run divided plate movements had). S# 132 apparently was Howard's first experiment with lenticular cutouts. The familair Type A plate, with the standard 5 cutouts, was not introduced until S# 151. S# 133 has a Type 1 [2] dial with an arched Howard signature, and original Howard teardrop style hands with polished spades and bosses. These First Run watches have all the train jewels in screwed-down settings, including those hidden beneath the dial. The Howard signature on S# 133 is engraved in a flowing script style, contrasting sharply with the severe block print style signature engraved on S# 132. The numerous finishing variations apparent on the same pair of consecutively numbered movements testify eloquently to the individual, craft nature of Howard's production practices. The movement is housed in an 18K gold Model 1858 open face case embossed "P.B." for Palmers & Batchelder.
