S# 33,090 - Model 1871 movement with nickel finish, Reed's whiplash record, 15 jewels in screwed down jewel settings, and adjusted to HCI&P. This rare nickel keywind variety of the Model 1871 that illustrates the early, asymmetric sun-ray damascening style centered on the barrel arbor, instead of the center wheel. This movement wholesaled for $150.00 in 1872. Only about 380 nickel keywind Model 1871 movements were produced, of which a possibly significant number later were converted to SW/LS via Abbott's attachment. The dial of this movement, which has threaded feet, bears the February 4, 1868 patent date for the steel safety barrel. The 18K gold Model 1871 hunting case has no maker's mark.
