Brett,

1928 is a little early for the design, X datecode on the Movement is a guess?

ad is dated 1953 http://www.mybulova.com/sites/default/files/vintage_ads/bulova-ad-1953-6.jpg

Movement model is the 10 BRC

'SPENCER'

L1 = 1951 and it certainly looks like the Spencer.

Yeah that's a 1950's dial all the way... I'm good with the Spencer ID.
