I've checked against my #100 no match . anyone willing to take a shot at this identification

Larger pictures would help, but I think with the wide frame you describe, you might have narrowed the list of the usual suspects down a bit. . .

Does anyone have a list of manufactures that have a similar frame design to #100

you know the one with the raised hump on the top where the ribbon ring is soldered. That might narrow it down a bit. Members need your thoughts.

Thanks again

To be honest, I can barely make out which side is the obverse from the pictures you've posted!!

Your dimensions don't seem quite large enough for a true 'wideframe' - wideframe EK2's are usually the territory of maker '24' - and frequently crop up with a small acorn on the side of the small ring as shown below.

If yours has the W&L type hump however (which I can't make out in your pictures) then it is of course not a 24.

Deschler has a hump. And Juncker. So does Deumer. Ans also Schaurte & Hohfeld (I believe).
