The easiest method to identify the Glass would be to remove the Caseback an look inside for the Case number. This number is used to reference the correct Crystal.

I'm wondering if I vote Set-O-Matic as a catch-all for now, or if I follow our general convention of going with unknown????

Doesn't it just seem like one of those two names is appropriate? I dunno, when we had ONE it seemed like the thing to do, but now that there's more.......
Pending a panel decision (which we should take off-line) I still say Set-O-Matic
