The purpose of this page is two fold; to attempt to give an overview of 21 Jewel Model 92 production after the introduction of the 845 grade and to show the effect on production of 21 Jewel Model 92s of the trend towards the 16 size movement. The table below shows a comparison of 21 Jewel Vanguard, Crescent St. and 845 movements as well a production of the Railroad Grade 16 size 21 Jewel Model 99 and 08s.
It is clear from the above table that production of the 845 grade, a 21 Jewel movement, rockets past the combined production of Model 92 21 Jewel Crescent Streets and Vanguards and leads 21 Jewel movement production through the 16 millions in 16 and 18 size movements. For all intents and purposes, the production of Model 92 21 Jewel Crescent Streets comes to an end with the 16169001-16170000 run. There are no listings in the 17 or 18 millions and one listing in the 20 millions (20036001-20036500) but no movements have been reported from this run. There is one run of 21 Jewel Vanguards listed in the 17, 18 and 19 millions respectively and movements have been reported from each of these runs. The Gray Book lists 20035501-20036000 as a run of 21 Jewel Vanguards but no movements have been reported from it. The last run of 845s, 19120501-19127000 is a run of 6500 movements, a very high number for Model 92s and over 80 movements from this run have been reported to date. One has to wonder whether any 18 size 21 Jewel movements were actually produced after the 19 millions. As time went on the 16 size movement become more and more popular which contributed to end of the Model 1892.
