The Inverto Deluxe 18L is the first deluxe set.
It comprises an 18B frame with a No. 540S friction jeweling attachment, standard (stake and stump) accessories, and friction jeweling accessories. The standard accessories are likely the same as those in the 18B set. It's not clear if this deluxe set was available with the earlier 18B frames, or only with the modern frames. The information below presumes that is was available with both types of frame and with accessories appropriate to the time when each type of frame was made. Early die plates had 26 holes. Later die plates have 28 holes. This change may coincide with the "S" prefix on the frame serial number. Standard accessories: 100 stakes "for modern watches", 20 stumps. Assumed to be the same as those included in the Inverto 18B sets. |

The stake numbers are the same as the later list, but many of the hole sizes are slightly different for the same numbered stake between the two lists. *The Inverto 18B & 18R brochure indicates that the No. 87 is included in the older sets, but this is likely a typo. The corresponding No. 57 is not included and with the No. 87, the total stake count would be 101. |
