It has been reported to me that my imagery of this watch has been placed on another Seth Thomas pocket watch website in violation of copyright law.
This 1899 Seth Thomas 6-size hunting Model 15 pocket watch was manufactured with a two-tone finished 3/4 plate, 7 jewels, and it is non-adjusted. The movement is stem wound and lever set, with a flat hair spring, and plain/simple regulator. Its serial number is 154690, and its grade is Seth Thomas numbered grade 5. The movement is signed Columbia New York.
The movement presents with a 6-size "S&N" private label Arabic dial with ring minute track and no marginals; fitted with Seth Thomas #1271 Spade Blue Hands - 6-size.
Columbia New York is an extremely rare private label appearing in Seth Thomas 6-size hunting Model 15 and Model 16.
Despite much rich history connected to the New York and Columbia names it has not yet been possible to connect this private label to any specific wholesale, retail, manufacturing, service, private, or governmental entity.
