Hi guys, This is one of three heirloom watches I did for my boss this week. Gpa Sam was a Share cropper, Deacon in the local church, cut railroad ties for $0.50/day and loved to wrestle. The family is from south and central Missouri. I'm pretty sure the movement is original to the case. A Keystone base metal, serial number 833615. The EON on the movement crosses to Avalon/Calvert. True bridge, 17J unadjusted, going barrel, wrist watch or European style set/wind mechanism. Overall, nice fit and finish, great runner. Super nice jewels. ![]() | ||

My best guess is the heart of the depression based on the bull dog style case, synthetic jewels... | |||

Lord Calvert was a name used by the American Jewelry Distributors Co. They provided lots of watches to independent jewlers and variety stores in the post WW2 period. Found it on the web. | |||

Thank you Peter. A bit later than I expected, but makes sense. | |||
