In reply to Lady Maxim it is. Main spring by Geoff Baker
Yes movement is in a desolate condition, but "B" movement does not yet have here
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.
Ok, now I'm thinking LM.
