As current curator of NZVRS dials & escutcheons I'm endeavouring to improve cataloging of stock; as time permits. Here's some starters... Can you give me any more info on the dials/escutcheons pictured? |

Bob, the top one rings a bell but I can't place it, it does look very similar to the early Futura one from Akrad but definitely not the same
The middle one looks like a common design used on a plethora of 1938/39 models, hopefully someone recognises the design - the important thing with those oval designs is the width and height (overall, and to the screw holes) as they were made in a plethora of sizes.
The bottom one was a common Philco dial from 1937/38 models without a shadowmeter - 37-610 etc
Cheers, Steve

Great detective work. I'm impressed by your image search (engine); sounds like AI. Yikes! Courtenay/Columbus pics here Attachments:

Hi Bob, the top one is correct, the bottom one looks like a 1938/39 Columbus escutcheon with the magic eye section cut off the top - does it look like someone took to it with a saw?  Cheers, Steve |

Good spotting Steve. Yes it's been cut off! How bizzare
