Watch Description

I've been the owner of my Great Grandmother's watch for a while now, and I just recently got it fixed so it runs. My mother and I were trying to identify the age when I found this site. Any information you can give me about it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Katie 

PS I chose shield as my symbol because I didn't know what the square shield was, the watch dating chart seemed to have only 2 shields, though originally I thought the shape was a blob, so what do I know.

Evidence from an unusual source for sure. I've seen these watches and never known what to call them. We need to add a name to the drop down menu, 'Perisphere' gets my vote.
