Buster BeckDIAL IDENTIFICATION FOR AN UNKNOWN DIAL ??
I would like help to ID this dial. It is 44mm's,it is concave/convex or rounded, it has 3 feet which are pinned [Holed]. The dial feet are at; 19.5- 33.5- and 51.0
It's a beautiful porcelain dial without chips,cracks, or hairlines that was purchased in a dial only collection. I am interested in all and anything in the way of information that you can add. Since it doesn't say Hamilton/Illinois/Waltham/Elgin I am quite clueless
I appreciate any & all the information you can give me on this dial and what it would have possibly gone on and approximate age/era and any estimates as to a value [.25c & up] would be quite helpful
regards,
bb

For now about all I can say is it might be French they had the key hole on the front.

Tom BrownI would also guess a fusee movement due to the bowl shape of the dial & without a seconds chapter 1850 or earlier. Again these are just my opinion & I have been wrong before.
As to which particular watch it fit that would be very hard to say due to the amount of individual watchmakers around at that time.
