I just bought a seth thomas pocket watch numbered 585793. Can anyone tell me when it was made?

As a watch making company, Seth Thomas is not the most researched. The serial # list says your watch was made between 1893 and 1894. This may not mean that the watch was really finished in those years and certainly may not mean that it was purchased by a retail customer in those years.
