This label is on one of my gimbaled box chronometers, a Bliss & Creighton. I have seen this label and am aware that The George E Butler was a prominent supplier to the marine industry. What I would like to know is if anyone has been successful in finding access to the service records for that company. This particular chronometer was last serviced in 1960 and at that time was already 110 years old. It would be great to be able to relate Job #2347 to a particular ship. Looks like it had a General Overhaul at that time.
Thanks, Paul
BTW, it sure would be nice to have a "Chronometer" category to post to!
