American Best is a private label in Seth Thomas 18-size open-face Model 5, manufactured for Siegel Brothers Jewelers in Boston Massachusetts U.S.A.
In his “1980 Price Indicator” Roy Ehrhardt illustrated that the Siegel Bros. commissioned Seth Thomas to produce three different private label pocket watch lines with their name marked on the movements. The photos in this posting are of my recently acquired example of “The King”. Illustrations from the “1980 Price Indicator” of Siegel Bros. “The King”, “American Best” and “Workingman’s Friend” are also included in this post.
The 1908 Boston Massachusetts City Directory identifies Eli and George Siegel as the “Siegel Bros.” jewelers at 387 Washington Street in Boston. Their business is also identified as Washington Jewelry Co. in other period documents.

John M. Bonnet ZANESVILLE, OHIO is a private label in Seth Thomas Model 3.
John Mathias Bonnet was a clockmaker and jeweler in Zanesville Ohio. The 1850 United States Census shows that he was 37 years old, born in Germany in 1813, and that he had a wife, Barbara, and five children including John M. Bonnet, jr. A January 3, 1883, Probate Record shows that John M. Bonnet died and left his jewelry business at 156 Main Street to his three sons John, Albert, and Samuel. He would have died in late 1882 for this record to have been created so early in 1883. The 1907 Zanesville Ohio city directory shows John M. Bonnet, a jeweler, residing with his wife Helina, at 425 Locust Avenue. Six years later, in 1913, the area in which the jewelry store was located was devastated by a flood which destroyed many of the businesses. Google maps show that 156 Main Street was on the corner of 2nd Street and that the property backed directly against the Muskingum River canal.
The paired photographs below show the lower end of Main Street where the John M. Bonnet wholesale and retail jewelry business was located, near the Zanesville Y-Bridge.
The top pair of postcard photographs show an arial view of the Y-Bridge, prior to the 1913 flood, one postcard with the 156 Main Street area highlighted in purple. The water tower on Main Street, adjacent to the Y-Bridge is also highlighted to serve as a landmark and reference point for orientation. The 2nd (“Second”) Street railroad bridge is also a valuable landmark as 156 Main Street was near the corner of 2nd (“Second”) Street.
The second pair of photographs show the Y-Bridge underwater in the flooded river. The water tower and approximate area of 156 Main Street are highlighted in green as reference points.
The third pair of photographs are shot from the lower end of Main Street with the water tower and Y-Bridge located behind the photographer, out of the view of the camera. A building that was adjacent to 156 Main Street is highlighted in green as a reference point.
A fourth pair of photographs will show damage in the area of 2nd (“Second”) Street and Main Street, where 156 Main Street had been. The water tower and approximate area of 156 are highlighted in green.

J. M. Bostwick PORT WASHINGTON, WI
EA 806 - J. M. Bostwick PORT WASHINGTON, WI - 18-size - Model 4 - Serial# 51906 - 7 Jewels - Grade 11
John Martin Bostwick and John Martin Bostwick, jr were the jewelers and proprietors of John M. Bostwick & Son, the oldest business house in the City of Port Washington Wisconsin from 1870 through 1933.
In 1888 J. M. Bostwick, sr. opened the Wisconsin Chair Company which eventually provided half of Port Washington’s jobs, which led to a surge almost doubling the city’s population. In 1899 the Wisconsin Chair Company caught fire and created a conflagration that burned down half of Port Washington. The business was insured and rebuilt an even larger factory in a location with direct access to the railroad.
The pocket watch movement has what appears to be an after-market engraving "J. M. Bostwick Port Washington Wis". An obituary for John Martin Bostwick, jr., who pre-deceased his father read: “He died at age 60. John was the son of J.M. Bostwick, Sr, President of the Wisconsin Chair Company. He was born in Port Washington. He took jewelry and engraving and had been proprietor of the J.M. Bostwick Jewelry Company for 35 years. He is survived by his wife Daisy, his father, a brother Ed, five sisters, Mrs Nellie Ramsey, Mrs Otto Pfeil, Mrs Ione Fairbands, Mrs Allen Cady, Mrs Harry Henery.”

Reports also indicate that he was some sort of official to whom deaths were reported in order to validate life insurance claims.

EA 815 – Centennial – 16-size – Pendant Model 21 – Serial Number 1322579 – 7 Jewels - Centennial Grade 332
In the summer of 1913 the Seth Thomas Clock Company issued Centennial Medals to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the original founding of the company in 1813. The medals were designed by Seth Thomas jr., the great-grandson of the founder of the Seth Thomas Clock Company. The Centennial Medals were two and one half inches (2 1/2”) in diameter, struck in bronze with a gold finish. The obverse displays a portrait of Seth Thomas, in relief. Around the edge it reads “To Commemorate The 100th Year of Seth Thomas Clock Co”. At the sides of the portrait “ Seth Thomas” and “1785-1859” is inscribed. On the reverse there is a figure representing Father Time holding a pendulum in his right hand swinging over a scale marked 1813 - 1913. The pendulum ball bears the Seth Thomas trade mark. In Father Time’s left hand is a scythe. To his right is an hourglass.
Later that year on September 1st of 1913 the Seth Thomas Clock Company released its Catalog No. 701 “Seth Thomas Watch Movements”. Catalog No. 701 was also marked as the “Centennial Edition” Trade Price List.
Within the 1913 Centennial Edition Trade Price List Seth Thomas introduced “Seth Thomas ‘Centennial’ Open-Face Watches”, 7-jewel high grade movements in three sizes. All of the movements were pendant set, utilized the Breguet hairspring, and came cased and timed from the factory.

In the Sears, Roebuck & Company 1896 Spring Catalog No 102 Seth Thomas pocket watches were not a big story. There were no images of Seth Thomas movements or dials. They were included in the list of choices for watch movements to fill the advertised watch cases as the low-end seven jewel option. It wasn’t until the 1898 Fall Catalog No 107 (shown below) that images of Seth Thomas movements were on display in the Sears, Roebuck & Company catalog. The first images included two seven-jewel Model 10 private labels, Pan-American and Century U.S.A., both lauded for their reliability. The Century movement and glitzy case combination was marketed as a “Trading Watch”; before that definition included the installation of fake jewels covering the pivots on the top plate, and false movement markings claiming 17, 21, or 23 jewels and that the movement was adjusted.
Century movements were phased out of the Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalog product line starting in the Fall of 1901 with the introduction of the Edgemere line; and Century was gone in the 1902 Fall catalog. Century movements were then seen for sale in the catalogs of A.C. Becken, Brooks Optical, Butler Brothers of New York, N. Shure Company, John M. Smyth Company, Holsman & Alter, Lapp & Flershem, Moore & Evans, W.H. Lasselle, and Otto Young & Co.
These are Century U.S.A. Trading Watch dials that have been placed temporarily on other Model 12 movements. An actual Century U.S.A. Trading Watch, serial number 1066094, can be found in the Pocket Watch Database Seth Thomas Image Gallery for Model 12.

Corona Watch Co. New York U.S.A. is a private label in Seth Thomas 18-size Model 10, Model 11, Model 12 and Model 13.
Trade Marks – Watch Cases, Pocket Watches, and Precious Stones by Roy Ehrhardt identifies “Corona Watch Co., New York” as a trademark for “R. R. Fogel Co. – Retail” with watches manufactured by the Seth Thomas Watch Company.
The 1889 edition of the “New York City Directory” R.R. Fogel & Co. operated as the jewelry business of Ruben R. Fogel at 401 Broadway in New York City. Ruben R. Fogel lived at 143 E. 15th Street.
The 1910 United States Census reports that Ruben R. Fogel was a 40-year-old male jeweler, living at 157 Fort Washington Avenue in New York City. According to the 1912 edition of the “New York City Directory” R.R. Fogel & Co. operated as the jewelry business of Ruben R. Fogel at 177 Broadway in New York City.
New York City Death Certificate # 26811 indicates that Ruben R. Fogel died on November 30, 1927, in Manhattan New York.
A December 27, 1927 article in the New York Times disclosed that Ruben Robert Fogel had left the bulk of two-million dollars to the orphanage that had sheltered him as a child.

Countess Janet is a private label in Seth Thomas 6-size hunting Model 18 manufactured for Sears, Roebuck & Company for sale in their mail order catalog.
Countess Janet
In the Sears, Roebuck & Company 1905 Catalog No 115 and 1907 Spring and Fall Catalogs the Seth Thomas private label pocket watch, Countess Janet, was advertised. The Countess Janet movements were marketed as a “Trading Watch” in the way that we use that term today to describe 7-jewel movements that utilized fake jewels covering the pivots on the top plate, and false movement markings claiming 17, 21, or 23 jewels and that the movement was adjusted.
Bosill Couri is a private label in Seth Thomas 18-size Model 5.
The combined information from the 1900 U.S. Census, the 1905 Death Record of Bosell Couri, and the Portland Maine City Directory tells us that after emigrating from Syria; Bosell Couri was a jeweler in Portland Maine until his death in 1905 at age 31. He was a jeweler with a close family member, probably a brother, Bshara G. Couri, with whom he shared a residence, and who continued to be a jeweler after the death of Bosell Couri.
There are pocket watches with locomotives on their dials bearing the signature “B. G. Couri Special” that were produced for his brother Bshara by other watch manufacturers.

There is a November 1, 1891, Cowell & Hubbard advertisement shown below from the Leader and Herald, Sunday edition.

Garden City/Liberty/Eagle
1896 Lapp & Flershem Catalog
On page 424 of the 1896 Lapp & Flershem wholesale catalog there is an advertisement for Garden City private label pocket watches manufactured by Seth Thomas for Lapp & Flershem. The Garden City movements’ available options are described for each of the three Item Numbers (No. 5, No. 6, and No. 7) that Lapp & Flershem are advertising.
Item No. 5 is a 6-size stem-wound hunting movement with 7 jewels. It is shown to have a long-stem rose engraved on the top plate.
Item No. 6 is an 18-size stem-wound open-face movement with 7 jewels. It is shown to have an eagle engraved on the top plate.
Item No. 7 is an 18-size stem-wound hunting movement with 7 jewels. It is shown to have an eagle engraved on the top plate.
The advertisement states that ““Garden City” Movements are Lever Set and fit all Regular Pendant or Lever Set Cases”.
Garden City is a private label in Seth Thomas 18-size Model 6 and Model 7, and 6-size hunting Model 15. Garden City was manufactured by Seth Thomas for Lapp & Flershem. One version of the Garden City movements bears the signature “Garden City” and the logo of Lapp & Flershem, an oval with the letters BHA within. “BHA” stands for “Busiest House in America”. The Garden City movement may have an unsigned fancy dial or it may have a “Garden City” signature dial. Other versions of the 18-size Garden City movements bear the engraving of an eagle. Other of the 6-size Garden City movements bear the engraving of a long-stem rose.
Some of the 6-size Garden City movements do not bear the Garden City signature or the engraved long-stem rose. They are signed “Seth Thomas Thomaston, Conn.” on the movement, and they might have a fancy dial with no signature, or they could have a “Garden City” signature dial.
Earle Watch Company
“Earle Watch Company” is a private label within Seth Thomas Model 2, Model 3, and Model 14. Some of the Earle Watch Company dials are signed with an EWC cluster monogram. Others are signed EARLE in all capital letters.
The Earle Watch Company private label pocket watches were manufactured by Seth Thomas for William G. Earle, a Philadelphia jeweler born in 1850, whose store was first located at 13 N. 9th Street and later at 1030 Market Street, from 1881 until his death in 1915. William G. Earle served as a Carrier for the U.S. Postal Service from 1871-1887, prior to becoming a jeweler.
The Earle Watch Company also contracted with Illinois Watch Company to produce its Earle Watch Company pocket watch in an 18-size Railroad Grade with 21 ruby jewels, nickel finish, and micrometric regulator, that was stem wound, lever set, and adjusted. It was Illinois Watch Company Model 6 with a full plate.

EA 814A – Edgemere – 18-size – Model 13 – Serial# EDGEMERE13A – 7 Jewels - Factory Named Grade Century
Edgemere is a private label in Seth Thomas 18-size Model 8, Model 9, Model 12, Model 13, and 6-size Model 16 and Model 17 manufactured for Sears, Roebuck & Company for sale in their retail catalog.
Edgemere
In the Sears, Roebuck & Company 1901 Fall Catalog No 111M the 6-size 11-Jewel Model 16 Edgemere pocket watch movement manufactured by Seth Thomas debuted. This was the beginning of the Century movements’ being phased out of the Sears, Roebuck & Company catalogs. The 11-Jewel Model 16 Edgemere has a unique appearance among the Seth Thomas Edgemere movements. It is the only one that bears the engraving of Sears, Roebuck & Co. on its top plate and the engraving font is different than the others, and as is frequently the case, quite different from the engraving on the cut displayed in the advertisements. It is a rarely seen version of the Seth Thomas Edgemere private label movements. The 17-jewel Model 17 Edgemere movement should also be recognized as the only 6-size Seth Thomas movement to have been fitted with more than 15 jewels. This movement also bears a unique finish pattern that sets it aside from all other 6-size movements.
A. Eichler is a private label, on dial only, in Seth Thomas 6-size Model 14 and Model 15.
