According to the serial number database, 123166 corresponds to Waltham watch: Model 1859, grade "Wm. Ellery," size 18. That would be similar to the 1857 Waltham watch presented to Abraham Lincoln upon completing the Gettysburg Address in 1863.

Research indicates the watch was actually manufactured by the newly formed American Watch Co. after Waltham Improvement Co. merged with Appleton, Tracey & Co. (January 1859).

Nelson P. Stratton designed the model 1859 under the direction of Aaron Dennison, as a continuation of the "thin" design created by Dennison, Howard & Davis of the Boston Watch Co.
