• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    E. Howard Series III

    Your nice Howard was finished on May5, 1869 . It was fully adjusted by G. P. Reed as were the other nine watches made in this batch. On July 10, 1869 it was sent/sold to Wheeler Parsons &Co.

    Here is a picture of Sigsbee with presumably the Howard on the end of the chain. The Howard, number 12722. I've been looking for that number on and off for over twenty years.

    Not much gets by Clint when it comes to Howards, The pic I intended to post was this one ......It would be nice that the split plate dial was a signed Moorhouse, but it is on a Ser VIII OF, made too late for it be Moorhouse.

    Well first of all, all 400,001 to 405,000 numbers without exceptions are N sz HC Hound grade gilt movements. Cases available could be gold filled, silver or solid gold. This low grade line was Howards attempt at breaking into the low cost market of watch sales. This was well after Edward...

    What was your most difficult but successful watch project............

    A little background on my successful project, snooping around an internet watch sales web site some years ago, I came across a listing under misc parts that was described as "assorted Elgin parts" $23. My eye was immediately drawn to the butterfly cut out on the plate that was partially...

    Favorite Watch Inscription

    My favorite is my Waltham mdl 70, inscribed Thomas N Bailey, US Army, 1873 and Nashville Tennessee. Armed with that info, I knew the "who" the "what" the "when" and the 'where" but not the "why". After some Google research, it turns out that Thomas Bailey graduated from the US Army West Point...

    A Howard and the missing E. Howard watch.......

    When reorganizing the E Howard ledgers recently, this entry for # 57412 caught my eye and I thought it might be an interesting read. It reads, "given to A. Howard to replace one lost on the Naragansett Bay." "A. Howard" refers to Edward Howard's nephew Albert who was a sales agent for the...

    My 19j Mdl 83. Factory or employee watch?

    Just purchased a Crescent Street model 83 hunter with cap jewels on both ends of the pallet fork and escape wheel, making it 19 jewels. It also has an unique engraved pattern on the regulator star wheel and a large gold cap jewel balance setting. I have owned a couple of 21j 83s in the past and...
