Circa 1906 Clock Movement “Bankers Dustproof Time Lock Co., Cincinnati” VERY RAR For Sale

Circa 1906. Banker\'s Dustproof began in 1906 as a subsidiary of Victor Safe and Lock Company, maker of the \"Cannonball\" model of safe; one of the most popular safes made and was a late entry into the time lock business. The clean lines in the manner of the emerging popular deco style of the day is reflected in the design. Around 1902 with the sale of E. Howard & Co. to the Keystone Watch Case Company, E. Howard exited the time lock business. Therefore, unlike most time lock companies that used either E. Howard or Seth Thomas movements, this company used 18-size Model #4 pocket watch movements supplied by the Illinois Watch Company. The movements had a separate crystal covering the watch movements much like on a conventional pocket watch providing exceptional protection from contamination compared to other time lock movements.
