I've never seen this before;at first I thought it was some kind of adapter for a smaller movement,then I noticed the four notches...maybe for a dial? Who can fill me in on this? Thanks guys-  Marty  | ||

I also have a case very similar but different. I would like to find out what it was for. Maybe a dollar watch or something like that? Aaron  | ||||

Very interesting-have you taken it apart for cleaning? I was wondering if the "extra section" unscrewed from the case...Thanks,Aaron. Marty | |||

Apparently the numbers match on Marty's making what looks to be an adaptor ring original to the case. Looking closer, unusual stem in the second and third image. And then in the fourth picture it looks like whatever belongs there was held in by screws! Let's see, as Aaron speculated some unusual watch, perhaps a compass? I'm out of guesses! | |||

Lindell: Good to hear from you! That stem is spring loaded,too-like a pen but without the catch.I'm soaking it before I try(again) to unscrew the crown...it may be friction fit. As for the adapter part I'm still not sure if it's separate - yet. If I get this apart I'll post a pic'...It's a nice train case and I was hoping to restore and use it. Marty | |||

Marty, Pic I ran across while looking through the AWC site. Kind of looks like yours. It appears some sort of clip held the mvt in.  | |||

Marty You might also remove the bow & see if there is a pin in there that holds the crown on, I had an older case that the crown was held on that way. Tom | |||

Thanks guys-I really haven't gotten too far. That strange stem will not pull out and the crown won't screw off...It would probably help if I knew what it was used for-it sure doesn't look like it wound or set anything to me,but I'm short on experience. Taking that bow off is an idea I hadn't thought of ,Tom. Maybe somebody out there has a bit more info - ? Marty | |||

Marty, Your case is for an Ingersoll Dollar watch. There isn't an adapter ring, it's all one piece. Brian C. | |||

Thanks Brian-I think I'll still polish it up, but now I've lost interest in it...Too bad,but thanks for saving me time on that stem-you don't know how it comes off do you - ? Marty | |||

Marty, I think I took one apart years ago and if I remember right, made a mess of it. I have a few of these case frames so if I ever had a broken stem or spring, I'd just replace the whole thing. Brian C. | |||

Brian-Thanks-I decided to put it back on ebay;too bad-I like train cases- but not enough to save unusable ones! live and learn... Marty | |||
