Dial Details This movement is a rare newspaper private label, which the U. S. Watch Company offered for a short time. Underneath the Cincinnati Gazette engraving is the letter "H". Some of these newspaper private labels came with a letter ranging from A - H which has an unknown meaning. One theory is that they were used in place of numbers to indicate how many movements were in each lot.
