Would anyone know if there is member or a source of spares for a 18s Tremont pocket watch , I do know that Aaron Dennison bought some watches to England

to finish & set up the English Watch Company as a Anglo/American company and marked London not Boston

Thanks

Depending what parts you're looking for you'd probably be best with a donor movement.

Can you post photos to confirm what Grade/Model it is.      Iam looking for a guide pin thead dia approx 1.13mm Ratchet wheel as one in the movement has a few teeth missing

On a movement like this I expect they'd have to be made.

The guide pin you pictured - is that a movable banking pin? They were eccentric pins on a brass screw, found on American pocket watches. There's a chance if you got ahold of an early 18s plate from  Elgin or Waltham that a banking screw might fit yours. Certainly no guarantee.

Yes the guide pin looks like a banking pin. But I don't see what the problem is with this?

Now the other problem here would be lack of standard parts between various companies. Especially in the age of 18 size where things varied between the companies themselves. So basically there's a heck of a lot of variation in 18 size watches and their parts

Well, I guess that OP shows the banking pin that is OK, but the other one is broken. I would drill a hole in the base of the broken one and putt there a suitable tapered pin...
