This must have been a popular style at one time...

Yes Frank, your basic "railroad track" SS RN dial! It's a very classic look.


Best Regards,

Ed

Frank,

These all appear to be for keywinds.. Are all the dial feet drilled to accept pins ??

John,

Yep, they have holes in the dial feet. Never had a keywind before so I guess I'll just chuck the dials. Wink

Frank, If I remember correctly, the dial feet are in the same position for all three dials. Over the years, I have seen a number of early Amer Watch Co, Elgin, Illinois, etc that will have a wrong company dial slapped onto it. THis really came in handy for the use of generic (nonmarked dials).

Tom,

Yep, I have another dial that looks like all the rest except it says National Watch Co. They all have very similar feet positions, although on some of them you might have to cut off one foot to make it fit a different brand movement.

Brian, I was just going to throw them back on the junk drawer. I was just struck by how three very distinctive companies made dials that all looked the same. Are they worth anything? I can always use tools and jewels. But can't we all! Big Grin
