I have owned this Seth Thomas, pocket watch for many years. This is a very nice timepiece it is stem set and stem wound and it has a 15 Jewel movement. The serial number is 279283 that dates it to some time in 1890. Seth Thomas, started making pocket watches in 1885 and stopped making pocket watches in 1915. Just about 30 years. As of this date Feb.21, 2016 this Seth Thomas, Watch is 126 years old. WOW!!!
If this Seth Thomas, Pocket Watch, could talk I wonder what it would say after 126 years, or tell us??
What do you think???
After making this post. I noticed the Serial number of the Watch 279283 and
the Serial number of the case 879273 share all the same numbers..
UNUSUAL??
Nice watch & it would be great to know all the stories.
