Dan,

Is "101" stamped on the movement anywhere?
I believe your movement is actually a Gruen cal 626.
It's illustrated in the 1926 standardized parts supplement B.
They are the same size and setting bits are very similar.
Noteworthy also is the dial fits both!

Link to one of my cal 101s:

This is a pic of my other one with the a clearer 101 stamp:

This is an early example of a 626(627;620;621).
Noteworthy also here is the "101" stamped case:
