Need Help Identifying Dial on a WE 202

I purchased the 202 in the pictures this weekend and it has a thick non-metal finger plate and a dial non-WE dial that I have never seen. 

I am looking for some help identifying the dial and also some information on the value of the dial.

Thanks,
Gary

That is a Stromberg Carlson dial, but I don't believe that I have seen a finger wheel like that.  I don't expect that the dial is worth much.  SC made lousy dials.

Thanks Larry.  I figured it was a Kellogg dial since it had a 'K' on the dial number card on the dial.


Thanks again,
Gary

The fingerwheel must have been clear and painted black maybe?

That might very well be.  I have not seen a dial center like that on an SC dial.  I wonder if it is a WE retainer ring stuck into the center of an SC finger wheel.

The paint idea is probably right because now that you suggested it I looked closely at the finger wheel and it does have some bubbles in it. Not even a good paint job!!

I'll take weird dial out and replace it with a WE dial.

Thanks for the information.
