Found this at Scott's Antique Mart in Atlanta. Did not know if it was authentic or a fake. Did not ask price because I was so unsure. I may get it next time I go if the vendor still has it. Any ideas as to when it was made or what model it is (supposed to be)?

Thanks,

Jack H.

With only that photo to go on it's difficult to be 100%, but the dial looks brand new and the logo script looks too thick so suspect that it's a fake / franken.

Actually it looks like a ref 1193 from the mid 1950's that has had the dial redone. I had one I had to have the dial redone on as well so it could be genuine. Need to see more.

Now I wish I had taken more photos. Maybe, if it's there the next time I go to Scott's A. M., I'll get more photos.

Thanks,

Jack H.
