ID this movement, anyone? (Answered!) "Click" to Login or Register

Bought this watch on the big auction site today for twenty bucks because it has a private label dial from my hometown -- in fact, from the jewelry store where I bought my first decent watch.

It is a real cheapie (unlike the store), and I'm wondering about the movement. Any ideas?

Because of the address shown on the dial, I was able to date the watch to 1907-1909, thanks to city directories. Maybe that will help with identification of the movement.

Your watch was manufactured by the New Haven Clock Company, covered by a patent issued to Wilson E. Porter July 29, 1902

(Patent #705703).
