Jon Hart"ALERT" Stamped marks on Pocket Watch Case
Stump the Chump is what it feels like...
Case is stamped "ALERT" on inside lid
GF? Base Metal? RGF/RGP (Is my guess)?

Robert V. JonesJon I think this is a base metal case. Sometimes they are marked on the bottom edge of the case.

Jon HartRob,
I have never seen a case just stamped "ALERT"...
Will have to wait to till I receive it and take a closer look.
Thanks,
Jon

Edward L. Parsons, Jr.I've never heard of it either, and I couldn't find it in Ehrhardt's trademark book.

Richard M. JonesDavid is correct as far as I can remember I have never had an Alert case that was not base metal and chrome or rhodium? plated. I think they were all made as replacement cases. They work OK.
