Hello,

I'm looking for info from old watch catalogs regarding Rockford watches during the period from 1883-1887. In particular, anything related to grade descriptions and their prices (i. e. old original prices when sold, I'm not looking for prices that the pieces sell for today) from this era would be most helpful.

Thanks,

Greg

Greg:

Do you have the reprint of the April 1882 Rockford catalog? No prices are given, but it has the specifications of 9 grades of watches It was reprinted by the American Clock & Watch Museum.

Kent,

I have the 1882 catalog in both reprint and original form. The grades that I'm looking for info on came a bit later than 1882 (such as grade 40, 72, etc.).

Thanks for reading,

Greg
