I seem to be becoming enamored of Keystone watches for some reason.... In addition to the example with celluloid dial in this thread. I just picked up another, with 15 jewel damaskeened nickel movement and porcelain dial. What particularly intrigues me is the case itself, which is a mint hunting case. Note the engraving on the back: | ||

What makes this interesting is when I compare that to the (much smaller) engraving on the celluloid dial of the watch in my other thread. The similarities are pretty significant. I was of the impression that most pocket watch movements were sold uncased, but the engraving would certainly seem to imply that this case must have been supplied by Keystone Watch Co. (There is another keystone image on the other side of the case, which probably was for initials but which is unengraved.) | |||
