While sifting through another box of movements and tools, I stumbled across this Rockford movement.

I am guessing a private label of Rockford...

And this odd creature...

THE PERREGAUX SHELL WATCHES CASED AND RUNNING DO VERY WELL, THE MOVEMENT ALONE MAY GET YOU 100-150

Farwell Osmond & Kirk Co. founded about 1860 in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota was a large, long time distributor of many things of hardware and office products. I would not be surprised if this was an early attempt to add watches to their large line of office stuff, etc.

I greatly appreciate the information Gents...
