Research Note: Waltham Serial Lists designate this run as Grade "Marsh" (3/0s, Model 1900, 7 Jewels, Openface, "U" Material). However, #18331256 has been reported as a standard Grade No. 310 with a cover marked, "Marsh's Patent Movement Protector - Waltham Watch Company," likely cooresponding to U.S. Patent #788923, issued to Edward A. Marsh on May 2, 1905.
