Advertising for Seth Thomas private labels Century U.S.A, Republic U.S.A., and Waldorf U.S.A.
The Fall 1910 Catalog Number 821, Butler Brothers’ “Book of Profits” contained advertisements for three product lines that Seth Thomas produced pocket watch movements for, Century U.S. A. in 18-size, Republic U.S.A. in 18-size and 6-size; and Waldorf U.S.A. in a 6-size movement with a 12-size dial and case, often referred to as a 12X6 and sold as a compact 12-size watch.
Above is a drawing of the 12X6-size open-face Waldorf U.S.A. movement advertised in the Book of Profits. Below you can also see photographs of the 6-size hunting version of the Waldorf U.S.A.
