A gorgeous 60 beat self winding movement that appears original to the case. The screw holes in the back match perfectly to the self winding bracket. Note the door opening from right to left which is typical on these Watchman clocks. I can't see where the watchman's device was mounted , if it ever was. I would expect it to be on the left side of the case, with the paper dial centered between the Clock dial </div> <div> and the R in Electric.<IMG SRC="1bd81dc0.jpg" border=0 width="385" height="476" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="1be44730.jpg" border=0 width="580" height="371" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                                                               THE TWO PICTURES ABOVE i STOLE FROM AN EBAY AUCTION SITE. ITS AN EMPTY CLEVELAND ELECTIRC CASE WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE TWO SHELVES.  I KIND OF DOUBT THAT IT SHOULD HAVE SHELVES. THE MOVEMENT THAT GOES IN THIS CASE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE AMERICAN OR MORSE. I TRIED TO BID ON THIS BUT MY 77 DOLLAR BID AT THE LAST MOMENTS WAS OBSOLETE BEFORE I ENTERED IT. IT WENT FOR $211 ON 12/16/04. EBAY ITEM 2293245097.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
