a railroad grade watch. At the time of its
production, railroads were still approving hunting
case watches for time service. Ref:
https://mb.nawcc.org/wiki/Railroad-Watch "Neither
Ball, nor the CB&Q (or other roads) specifically
prohibited hunting-case watches until the 1920s,
or much later on some roads. Except for those
hunting-case movements mounted in open-face cases
with conversion dials (as alluded to above),
hunting-case watches aren't mentioned in 1908 -
1920s (or later on some roads) rules documents. "
It's a common mistake to assume that the rules of
time service that later prohibited hunting case
watches from time service, but that wasn't the
case when this watch was made, approximately 1910
