Chautauqua is a private label in Seth Thomas 18-size Model 5 and 6-size Model 14.

The Larkin Soap Company offered premium products that could be obtained by redeeming “Larkin Premiums” which were earned by purchasing standard Larkin merchandise and/or organizing local Larkin purchasing clubs as a “Larkin Secretary”. The premium products included tableware, tea sets, jewelry, watches, clocks, lamps, furniture, suitcases, washing machines, books, beds, cribs, musical instruments, and many other items. The most refined and desirable version of many products carried the branding “Chautauqua”.

Below you can see a few mailer and catalog offerings of Larkin Soap Company Premiums. Seth Thomas pocket watches and clocks were illustrated in many of the mailers and catalogs documenting an ongoing, well-established working relationship between the Larkin Soap Company and the Seth Thomas Clock Company. 

Based on documented use of “Chautauqua” branding for premium-tier goods, and the established inclusion of Seth Thomas pocket watches among Larkin premium offerings, it is reasonable to consider the possibility that the Seth Thomas Chautauqua-branded pocket watch may have been distributed within the Larkin premium system. However, no direct documentation has yet been identified linking this specific watch model to a confirmed Larkin premium offering.
