1883 Model Waltham Pocket Watch brought back to life

1883 Model Waltham Pocket Watch Movement no 14304394 Brought back to life!

The eBay scrap movement was completely stripped down and cleaned.

1883 Model Waltham Back to Life

Needed a new mainspring and top balance jewel.
Now back to life, all I need for the movement is a Second Hand.

With a replacement second hand found, the movement is now finished.

I found an old Pocket Watch case which I hope to use with this movement. The case is marked Dennison Watch Case, with the stamps of ALD (Aaron Lufkin Dennison), the hallmark of the lion passant (.925 purity), the Anchor (Birmingham), letter h (1907), and the case number 2776. So the case is a Waltham Pocket Watch model size, it will need a replacement button and crystal.
