Model 1871 watch with black, personalized dial signed by Josiah Moorhouse - A nickel keywind Model 1871 (Series IV) movement with a black, personalized dial signed by Howard's dial room foreman Josiah Moorhouse. This N Size, threaded leg dial features a highly unusual Howard signature in which the characters: "E," "H," "&," "C," and "o" appear superimposed. The name: "Thomas P. Drown" is spelled out in Gothic capitals. Thomas P. Drown was probably from the Rochester, NH area. The scarce nickel keywind movement is S# 40,671. It has screwed-down jewel settings and a micrometer regulator, but is adjusted only to isochronism.
