Anyone that can help identify the L.B.B. on the 18s early Hamilton is appreciated. I know where Litchfield, Mich. is as I lived near there years ago. Just windered is L.B.B. was a jeweler or watch inspector ?? Thanks to all.

Within this fine body of knowledge and experience - - not even a word of either from above ...or below.... I am stunned !

Possibly a special order for the owner of the local mercantile, the mayor, or ? Back then you could have anything you wanted put on a dial and/or a movement.

Thank you, Buster . . .some ideas to inquire into.
Merry Christmas and thanks again for the tip

I would tend to think it is a jeweler that could have been an inspector. If there were any rail lines running through Litchfield and it had a depot then it might have been an inspector but Webb Ball tended to frown on personalized dials.

I would see if Litchfield has a historical society, if so send a picture of your dial along with the time frame it was produced and see if they might know what L B B stands for.

I don't believe the 930 was a RR grade watch so jeweler is more likely. JMHO
