Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

Regarding vinn3's question about the U.S. Shipping Board, you can read about it in this wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Shipping_Board

These cases originally held South Bend movements that were sold to the Board.  Hope it's OK to link to another board, but you can see info on these on the NAWCC board:  http://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?41412-South-Bend-grade-315-Military-watch
