George Gilbert - London Verge

[harold]

I was unable to locate any information on George Gilbert in my reference books. I would say the movement looks like a 1860 - 1880 production movement. Any information available? Thank you.

The form of the cock and the use of a regulator disc let me think it´s a bit earlier,I´d put it around 1800+/-20 years.Any siver case?Hallmarks?

I'm with Herrn Rasch on this, except I'd go 1780-1800. Hallmarks would cinch it.

Thank you for the reply guys. I was not very clear in my first posting. This is a movement I bought yesterday at a gun show. The movement is held by a very strong nickel bezel and the thick crystal has a bevel cut outer ring. I can't even figure out how to remove the bezel. It almost looks like the bezel screws off. I don't want to force things. To me it appears that this movement was part of a small clock. I am attaching a picture of the dial and bezel.

The dial is painted.
