New white enamel Elgin 16 size replacement dial in the Montgomery style, un-sunk. This dial measures 41.8mm across. The dial feet are @3:45 & 7:15. This is a recently manufactured dial and not original Elgin material, condition is mint and quality is very good. I have about 4 of these dials so you can order more than one. From the NAWCC Website: "Henry S. Montgomery was the General Watch and Clock Inspector of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) from 1896 to 1923. During the first decade of the twentieth century he patented a marginal minute dial that had three distinctive features. The patent has been lost, but the features of a true Montgomery Dial are known from Montgomery?s writings. First, the marginal minute numbers were all upright, as opposed to radial numbers which were used on other dial designs. Second, the five minute numbers were slightly larger than the other minute numbers. Frequently, the five minute numbers are red, whereas the remainder are black. However, its not known if the five minute numbers being red was a patented feature."
