In reply to ..other than the Dials and by FifthAvenueRes…
I'm torn....it certainly could be from the Clipper series as everything is a match except the case...but we see that they certainly came in a number of different varieties.
So we could go with a tentative Clipper or an unknown. Looking at all the other S-O-M in the database they all share the same common features including the same (or very similar hands) and they could happily fit within the Cliiper series as the three examples share the exact same features. The variant is going to be the case design.
I'm leaning towards Clipper (tentative)
Geoff, I agree the others would need to be updated to reflect this decision.
I think Set-O-Matic is functioning as a catch-all for this (and other models) for the time being.
Votes to date. Votes in () are my best guess at what I think members are voting.

Interesting that there's no votes for unknown. IMO the odds of it beging named a Clipper are greater than the odds of it being named a Set-O-Matic, and it's arguabley unknow what it's model name may turn out to be :)
