1959 Bulova Dolly Madison "M" (Edited to 1959 typo)
1954 Bulova Dolly Madison M
1954 Bulova Dolly Madison "M" is a good match.
Thanks to everyone that commented. I'm a little confused. The date code on the case back is L9, for 1959 as I understand it. And the Linebook image mentions it's for the 1958-59 year. But each comment is saying that the 1954 year is a good match. I thought that the model year corresponed to the date code on the case back? Is this not correct?

Oh gosh, sorry about that. Just a typo on my part and others just followed my lead. It is indeed 1959
