The Model 14 was Seth Thomas’s first 6-size ladies watch, introduced to the public around 1890, just five years after pocket watch production began. It was the company’s only known design with a male winding stem, which was dropped halfway through the first production run. The M14 was made with a choice of four jewel counts on plate finishes of either gilt or nickel in a lever-set hunter configuration, so open-face dials had no seconds bit. The serial number runs of the Model 14 alternated with those of the Model 15, and the factory appears to have had both the Models 14 and 15 in production at the same time, though it’s not clear why since both were 6-size hunter movements. Photographs will show case numbers as well. Configuration of 3/4 plate hunter winding a stem lever for jewel counts produced between 1890 to 1910 known for its male winding stem. It is in used condition with some surface, cracking on the face and wear on the stem and slight oxidation patina around the case. Take numerous pictures close-up for you to view. Based on acid testing and pictures from the top of the watch, it is gold filled and tests at 10 k. It’s not working it does wind. The case is beautiful and hand told also a good indicator of gold f illed. Please feel free to ask me questions. Before leaving any reviews if you have concerns, always reach out.
