Hi Omegoids,
Saw this and don't recognise the dial pattern. Seller specifically says he/she hasn't (and won't) removed the back.
Anyone seen this pattern before. I'm guessing late 50's/early 60's

 

Yup, seen a number of times. Probably an American market model?


Very good thing that he hasn't had a go at removing the back

 

Check out the gunge!

 

indeed..just noticed!

 

I'm sure this was discussed here some time ago (the pattern) and the consensus was original.

I suspect a redial (full or partial) based on the alignment of the "Automatic".

 

Minute markers missing, 7 marker loose, second hand badly rusted. Pity.

 

Quite right, but once I see the first "Uh Oh!" I don't look any further. I really should apply myself a bit more.

 

These variants do not have minute hashes. The "Automatic" script on the other hand looks to have had one hell of a night!

 

All the oldies sag a little.
