I thought the site had this one, apparantly not.

15 Jewel Bulova W. Co signed AAI with a fairly low serial number of 28 

The movement came to Me a over a decade ago with a Hudson Maxim signed porcelain dial, no case unfortunately.

This is one of my sticking points when we see the "BULOVA W Co" stamping on a movement which we want to date prior to 1923.

Both the low serial number and Hudson Maxim dial certainly suggest an early piece.

I'd like to know what year Bulova first stamped their movements 'BULOVA W Co'?

The answer might help solve a bunch of questions.

The 'in use since' date of the trademark registration should give that answer Stephen?

I will add that 1920 for this movement was a guess to enter it into the site database.
