The North-western Watch Case Company (which later became the Rockford Watch Case Company) is most known for making the Muckle reversible case. Named "Magic Watch-Case" also called "Climax Case" it was designed and patented as a convertible case. It could be used as an open-face case (just a crystal over the dial) or as a hunter-case (with a push of a button the spring hinged lid/cover pops open to reveal the dial also protecting the crystal). The part of the case that holds the movement can be rotated a full 360 degrees making it all possible. (I hope the images help visualize how the case converts from a hunter style to an open face watch.) Filed for patent (# 275251) as the "Magic Watch-Case" by Edward A. Muckle, Rockford, IL. on August 5, 1882 and the patent was granted on April 3, 1883. This 18 size Muckle case has a pre patent (patent pending) date of 1882 and was produced before the actual patent was granted.
