Note: Both the movement and the insIde of back case
cover engraved with "ARTISTIC". (see photo).
Private label?
Curator Response: Thanks for the report and images. The "Artistic" marking does not appear to be factory-original. Perhaps the mark was added by a local jeweler to market a special brand. I have added this to the research notes for the run. A trademark was issued in 1922 for the "Artistic" name, which may be related. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/reference/trademark/155346/watch-case-movement-clock-artistic
