I know we've been over this before - if it's not signed O'Hara, then it's probably not an O'Hara dial.
Having collected nothing but Seths the last few years, this is only the third Seth fancy dial I've ever seen, and it's certainly unique - and flawless.

I picked it up at an antiques barn, where the seller claimed it was an O'Hara dial, because "someone told him so".
It's clearly not a two-piece soldered-sunk dial, but a "pressed" dial of the Swiss persuasion. There is no signature of any kind on the back, and the silver dots and the silver rosettes are under the porcelain finish.
Comments on whether it's an O'Hara or not?

O'Hara or not that is a beauty of a dial on your Seth Thomas. Thanks for showing the dial to us and if you get a chance I would like to see the movement. Tony

One of the odd things about Model 5 Seths is the absence of the 35-minute-position socket for the third dial foot. The crappier Models 6, 8, 10, and 12 all have sockets for three dial feet, but the 21-jewel grades and up (including the Maiden Lanes) only have two.
Weird.
