[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 216784, member: 25"]I don't think there is any chance at all of finding a specific maker for either the movement or the case. Like most antiques, it is the type, style and quality of an item that matters, not which forgotten factory or anonymous craftsman that matters. The ubiquity of branding in modern advertising has led people to forget that there was a time not so long ago when it was all more or less meaningless. In general people would rely on their own knowledg and assesment of quality, or the reputation of the seller to guide their purchases.[/QUOTE]
