Good addition, Matt. Looks like the same click used on the 130.

Interesting to see the Favre letter “L” in same font as the Delphia from the 151 thread. That from the mid 20s, this from the mid teens. Maybe fits the letter font theory: ~1916-18 here, 1926-28 there.

Thanks for sharing!

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more

Again, confirmation on Favre, it is a version of #2:

As you can see in the design registrations these were just example pictures for the same base designs in different sizes: "en toutes grandeurs". ONe of the reasons why the pictures sometimes slightky differ from one or the other movement.
