Nice about 6 size private label hunter, A. Ross & Co, Port Arthur, Ont. Nothing under the bridge, but looks Longines to me, but what does the herd think who made the movement? ![]() | |||

Hi Ernest ! Not a herd but one lonely sheep answering: ![]() I would agree your opinion about Longines as the maker. The exposed wheels, the trigular hairspring stud with one side rounded, and the 'ram-head' looking twin jewels are typical Longines. The earlier movements were sometimes unmarked on demand by the seller or 'private labeled'. It might be a mark on the dial side of the movement. Has the watch any serial# ? The only problem ist: I do not know this exact movement in the small 6 size. I would like to see some more pictures: dial case and one of the escapement/balance part with the watch not running. Regards Gerald | ||||

Agree with Gerald the ram-head or fish tail looks to be works of Longines. | |||

Ernest, this is a private label 6s Longines from my collection of watches from old Albany, NY jewelers. Not the same, but some similar characteristics. Is your serial number before or after mine? ![]() | |||

I vote Longines The extension of the bridge for the 3rd and 4th wheels cinches it, as does the spotted finish. | ||||
