Roman numberal in the case II VIII V = 285, last three digits on the case serial number.

A 1920 Lady Maxim for me. I hope you can get a hairspring replacement :-)

Great ole gal.  I'v been going back and forth between Lady Maxim and Rupaiyat for days...and still not sure.

We may find out one day that those with a Bulova stamped movement are a Lady Maxim of the era with Rubaiyats always having a matching Rubaiyat movement. More knowledge needed, but for now its a  good way of grouping these early models.
