Douglas D. WeaverHercules Watch Co. Chicago, ILL U.S. of America
Does anyone recognize this 6s hunting case movement? I couldn't find any info about the Hercules Watch Co. Was this movement made by some other company? Some characteristics are similar to New York Standard or Seth Thomas, but I couldn't find any matching examples in the literature I have.

Bill MandersDouglas,
Looks very much like a Trenton Watch Co. movement.

Buster BeckI have tried off & on through the years to ID the maker of these Hercules Watch Co, Chicago watches with very little luck. From time to time you will see an 18sz or a 6 sz. and they usually have high serial numbers. I always end up drawing a blank

regards,
