He he was correct . this is a conversion piece. Elgin made their first in 1910, hamilton in 1917, this piece I do not see right off who the MFG. is From what I can see of the movement is was a fairly nice pice. the dail numbers and the hour hand resembles waltham. Thanks for sharing, please post better shot of movement so we can better assist you with this piece.
@ralph: here is a link to one of my Waltham auto clock, you can see the similar hour hand and dial numbers.
