I have a 992 with Canadian dial, and case. Are these the correct hands? ca 1929

Hello Mike,

I have a dial like yours with the correct set of hands so I pulled it out to photograph for you.

Finding correct hands can be difficult, the minute hand is downright scarce as so many of them were lost in time service. My theory is the rough, dry hands of a railroad worker were just a bit clumsy when it came to something this small and watch hands were often damaged or lost altogether as a consequence.
