As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
Which movement is this?

Which movement is this?
There are no marks and this does not look like any I have seen.... anyone recognize this?

Re: Which movement is this?
Stumper for sure.
I know I have seen that movement though. Looks similar to those I've seen in Westclox and similar marques.
I searched all the usual 1-jewel suspects and I have found nothing.

Re: Which movement is this?
Not a help, but at first I thought MOT was saying that he was sure the brand of the movement was "Stumper." 
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: Which movement is this?
Looks like it could be a modified (or unreported) Eppler movement.
Here's a link to an Eppler 16, which looks VERY similar. Especially the two sections I circled.

Re: Which movement is this?
Pretty sure this is a different watch as the one trying to be opened has a lot of brass showing.TheJohnP wrote:Hold on.watchpalooza wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 8:29 am There are no marks and this does not look like any I have seen.... anyone recognize this?

Nope, different watch. This one may be for the field watch challenge.TheJohnP wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 10:37 amHold on.watchpalooza wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 8:29 am There are no marks and this does not look like any I have seen.... anyone recognize this?

Re: Which movement is this?
Should I be concerned that you already have a candidate in hand? Probably just getting in my own head here. Plenty of deals out there to be had.
Re: Which movement is this?
Here's another site with a different Eppler movement that looks closer to the one you have.

Re: Which movement is this?
It looks like John is right - it appears to be an older Eppler movement, which were notoriously not labeled in any way. This one is a pin pallet with a mobile stud carrier and center sweep seconds hand...so it appears most like an Eppler 18. The unfinished brass plates and use of a metal seconds gear indicates its an older one, since according to 17Jewels they switched to chrome and plastic in the later years of production.
