Gary E. FosterSwiss watch Unusual movement design
I was looking through some boxes and ran across this Swiss pocket watch, about 12 size, 7 jewels, marked Ruxton Watch CO. 224, case is marked Meyer and Studelu S.A., Lusterite Quality. Never saw plates like this, any thoughts.

Gary E. FosterI didn't think there was much value here, as it's a 7 jewel unadjusted watch, just wanted to show odd square shaped movement plates.

Richard M. JonesGary I believe some watches with the same plate design went to Canada and were labeled for one of the large Canadian department stores. I just cannot remember which company or store so I must be having a senior moment! No real value but to me they remind me of what a Chinese knockoff of the Dudley Masonic might look like.

Joe StraubThere is a Shell Oil Co pocket watch on eBay right now (21 hours to auction end as of this writing) with the identical movement marked Girard-Perregaux.
BTW, the starting bid price on the referenced Shell Oil Co pocket watch auction seems ridiculously high. Somebody is fishing.
