This showed up in my 1883's. An American Waltham Watch Co. dial with the model name signed on the dial is a first for me, anybody?

Better dial Closeup, some little fleabites. The host movement is an 1883 s/n 12590717 17j "A" grade P.S. Bartlett. Very fancy Damaskeening for that period. Probably RR gradable.

But it goes back with the host watch into a minty "Iridimite" Horseshoe signed swing case it llived all its life in already.

Finished reviving it. Hadda broke main, and when I checked it I forgot to screw on the cannon pinion. Hadda scare , THEN I realized THAT's what that funny little "extra" part is in the cleaning basket!
"Purdy Thangs" these 83 movements

Nice looking "HorseShoe" Case. What's "Iridimite"?

Very nice job Dave, first dial I've seen marked this way. very unique.

I've seen dials just signed, PS Bartlett, in block letters but never seen on like yours.

Dave-You must be one of those guys who looks in the right place at the right time...Nice! I hope we find out more - ?

David,
I found my signed P.S. Bartlett dial. Mine is exactly like yours with one exception-mine is a single sunk dial. The movement is a gilt model 1883-17j--adjusted--sn--12544800.
