Looking for Info on 30's/40's cal. 8 3/4F Zenith

DirtyDozen12

I cannot provide any useful insight but the glossy black dial and intricate steel case are fantastic. Great find and thanks for sharing!

Hello!

I acquired this cal. 8 3/4 F Zenith tank last week. It likely dates to the late 1930's or early 1940's. It's a restoration piece as it needs a replacement glass and a new balance spring/mainspring, but otherwise seems to be in quite good condition and is quite a lovely little piece!

If anyone could provide info on the model/date/etc (as well as any potential authenticity concerns?), I'd appreciate it. The last photo shows a similar model from a catalogue with the same dial and hands that another enthusiast shared with me.

Also, if someone knows where I could find replacement glass or a cal. 8 3/4F (for parts), I would be grateful for the tip.
