Wires and drills in a box

Round, faded blue card pillbox containing thirteen new parts for H2, including three long pieces of specially ground steel ribbon (watch mainspring) intended for use as replacement cross-wires for the balances. Five pieces of fine round steel wire are in various stages of completion as axial wires, one complete with tab and collet end-attachments and two with just tab attachments. These parts may post-date Gould’s restorations.
