I have a 929 that is almost a twin of yours. Sn 17066 from 1895. Same dial and hands and also a sidewinder but not a private label. It was sold to a customer in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1896 and I got it in 2014 from a seller in Aberdeen.

Thanks Robert for showing yours. I suppose they are not twins but could be brothers being only 180 #'s apart. I love these old movements. Nice for 120 years old. And think of the age of the guys that purchased them a 120 years ago.How old were they when they bought them 20,30,40 or more.It just amazes me!
