Thanks Buster, if I ever decide to sell it perhaps I will say it belonged to the Fuehrer. Smile

Lorne your case was made by Ladd Case Co.
in Providence RI USA 188 Richmond St.
circa 1880-1890
and your case is 10 years case.

Peter, my apologies for questioning your info but I have googled the Ladd Case Company and can find nothing with that mark. Can you provide a link?

Beginning on page 111 of this PDF website you will find literally 100s of American watch case makers logos.....including Ladd, on page 119.
