Mickey,

New York Standard began production in 1885 in Jersey City NJ and was sold to the Keystone Watch Case Co in 1903, and watches continued to be produced under the NYS name until 1925. Unfortunately, there are apparently no comprehensive (or even partial) serial number records that have survived.

Hope it will give you some help.
