Re: Perhaps I Posted Too Quickly
In Response To: Perhaps I Posted Too Quickly ()

Jeff - agreed that they look as if they could have been done 20 years ago, perhaps the first wave of re-dials! I think they at the very least they have the honour of being aged and they have there own distinct look as opposed to the very dull modern 1533B re-dials for instance...

Look forward to what your further detection throws up!

: maybe Heuer?? maybe a surplus / scrap dealer?? But, seeing this

: they were made a long time ago.
