I am inspecting a Hamilton 914 I just got with some other Estate Sale watches that has a most interesting set of engravings.

. . . and on the back there is a "bullseye" ring with; "NO MAN CAN BUILDETH HIS HOME ALONE" inscribed around the top, and; "MEN WHO BUILD" around the bottom, and in the middle, a Greco-Roman Column in the foreground with;
"F E EARLE CO
NEW BEDFORD MASS"
and a city skyline in the background
Nice Gift watch, anybody ever heard of the F E EARL CO?
