There is no question that these are a Landeron (Hahn) ebauche, but there may be more to the Factory L story. I offer this only because even up until 1922 Hahn was advertising only ebauches.

But rewind back to 1920: there is another "L" offering a familiar finished movement. Also with the style cases & dials that we see on the early man-sized cartouches, which were mostly all imported Swiss cases... You can even see the little anchor tab that is on my curious rectangle variant.
