Hiegrade U.S.A. Identification
I am going to put a really nice looking movement up on the Bay but I can find any information on it.

It is about a size 10. It is 39.64mm's wide. It has a perfect dial and three very nice hands. It is marked "Hiegrade U.S.A." and "15 Jewels" on the dial. The movement is marked "Hiegrade U.S.A.", "15 Jewels", and s/n BE080888. All the screws are gold as are all the gears that I can see.

I am going to sell it but I don't know who it is made by. Does anyone know? I can post pitures if needed. Thank you,
Harry

A photo of the movement might help, so far I have found nothing on the name Hiegrade.

Thank you Tom. I will post a few photos in the morning. It looks like a nice movement. In my searching here I could not find anything. When I Googled it I found a couple of people stating they thought it was a New York Standard. When I looked it up in the price guide under New York Standard 12s I did not see it listed.

Please check back tomorrow and I'll have some photos on here.
Thanks,
Harry

Your N.Y.S.W Co. mvmt can be found pictured in the Price Guide on the top right of pg.334 in a hunter configuration, while yours is an open face watch.

Wow Buster your good. I was looking for something listed as "Hiegrade" under the size 12 listing.

Thank you very much for the help,

Harry
