Did Ball-Hamilton ever use a dial with true Box Car Numerals the same as on a mid 1950's 992B. Also is there a Ball catalogue on line? Thanks. Alan. | |||

Alan, Please post an image of the exact dial you are asking about so that we can properly answer your question. Webb C. Ball was very specific about ownership - he patented everything. There were several lawsuits about infringement on his designs. Ball protected them vigorously. Look carefully at pictures of Ball Dials that I have posted in the Ball Forum mentioned above. I do not post anything that is not authentic that is why I want to answer your specific question based upon the image to benefit you as well as others with the correct answer. | |||

I did a bit more research and the dial I was looking for is a Hamilton HG or Heavy Gothic.Did Ball ever have one? | ||||

This was the best I could do I took an image from the Bay. This is what I'm looking for, these numerals with a Ball logo not a Hamilton logo. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g...GnBkFP5z/s-l1600.png | ||||

Sorry it doesn't work and I do not know how to edit it. | ||||

Don't know what I did but it does work now. That's the dial I'm looking for but with a Ball logo. | ||||
