It's a Wadsworth case and it's correctly marked for what was an "entry level" watch.

"Tarnish Proof" nickel had a thin rhodium plating to help prevent the corrosive reaction that nickel often shows when exposed to acidic perspiration. The case on thojil's example is in extraordinary condition.

Thanks for confirming what I had previously stated and the additional information
