Rick Farmer"Railway Timekeeper"-asking for help to identify, what, when & who
Apologies first, pictures from cell phone.
-watch dial reads, Railway Timekeeper-W.M. Slater, Liverpool, did not have loupe & could not read word beneath Liverpool, I think a series of 5 numbers.
-hallmark indicates silver case, maker "RS", shield to right of RS looks like Chesterfield but don't think so.
-Arabic "G" ?
-could not find as yet any info in symbol beneath "G"
-Bezel swings out as does movement. No name on movement or Serial number.

David MossYou are not showing the movement - it's under that dust cap. Slide the lock arm to one side to release it and lift the dust cap off.

David E. Booth, Jr.David Moss is correct. Probably the movement is marked.
I don't know for certain, but suspect "Railway Timekeeper" was put on a lot of watch faces as a marketing device. Until I lost my house, and a lot of personal possessions, I had my great grandfather's watch, an 18 size key wind and set common 13 jewel Swiss bar detached lever movement with a single sunk enameled dial that read "Railway Timeheeper" in red letters and "M.J.Tobias Liverpool" in black letters. If memory serves, the hunting case was silver hallmarked for Birmingham,1870.
