That's one interesting case/movement holder. Not see it used before in any other model. Geoff you said it had the 1924 patent date on it. Does the movement have the dust protector?

Nice redial too.

No Stephen, it doesn't, both Pembertons are the same in that respect. Movement just drops into the case back.

Pemberton from me! Great one.   I though the June 1924 patent date referred to the dust shield, and was only stapmped on watch cases which originally had this technology?

Geoff  Do you remember if this one also has New York case sig?  Your solid gold example doesn't say.
