I think that unless we can confirm the case design was indeed part of the Dolly Madison series, we need to ID this as Unknown. There is just not enough to go on with this watch to confirm even a tentative ID, despite it probably being part the this series.

In case you missed the ad I attached on the other page, it is from the 1953 ad.

Well I have just seen what looks like an exact match to the ad above an eBay and the case of this watch is not a match.

Hello everyone, I have an update. I've recently purchased some movements for repair and parts and the one for this peculiar watch seems to match the one in the Ad by Kathy L.

I believe I found a 1952 ad for this watch.  The Cora

Well found, Kathy! That sure looks like a "spot on" match.

Looks to me like the Dolly Madison was very close but sported a different dial and jewel count? Slightly different case.

Well done. It’s a match to me. Cora it is.

Good job Kathy. You also found a men's watch in the ads you just posted, Hawthorne, that's a new name.

Oh nice!  Always great finding an ad with unknowns in them.
