This one is a named movement, G. M. Wheeler, made about 1895. Nice blued screws, all intact...
This watch features an unusual case.
The movement is held in a ring, like a swing-out case, but there is no hinge. Instead of swinging out the ring clips into the case body back.
I have seen a case something like this only once before, but it was not the same case. This one seems to be older and intended to be higher quality that that other one was. However without the usual case screws anyplace in the system that would secure the ring, a small about of "rattle" is inevitable.
