Very Early Grade 36 Model 6 Eagle with Matching Dial
The earlier examples of the Eagle series carried no factory markings other than one of three engravings of our nation bird - the bald eagle - which means that many of them have likely been discarded because it wasn't obvious who made them, and this early and fairly scarce Model 6 carries the largest of those three styles of eagle.

Earliest Known 17-jewel Two-Tone Grade 281 Model 5
Charles Higginbotham, then-superintendent of the factory, applied for and was granted a patent for a pendant-set design, which was used on the first few Model 5s but then dropped for some reason, even though the plates continued to be milled for its use. The eventual choice for a pendant-set Model 5 was the Grade 281, and this is the ninth one made.
