Share all your Newark Watch Co serial # & info

[watchbob]

I've been planning to collect & compile information on all Known Newark Watch Co watches for quite awhile - So here it goes - I'll be sharing my info on over 110 I have information about - in groups as time permits!
PLEASE SHARE YOUR'S !!
I hope once we have a lot of info collected I can compile & shared with all interested. Please share How the dial is marked - Movement markings including names & etc - IF marked Patented & more -
I'm lumping Arthur Wadsworth Keyless watch Co watches into this list also.( I'll update some of the details as I don't have most of these in easy access now.
Please tell others who may have Newarks to share there info. so we can make some assumptions from the data once collected. As I shared before from my information it shows that more than 1/2 of all Newark watches were Private labeled - also that private labeled watches had dials & movement marked similar ( Not Newark dials )
#2560 Edward Biven New York dial & movement 15 jewel KW
#3650 Arthur Wadsworth Keyless Watch Co New York stemwind & slide lever set Patented June 19 1866 15J
#3752 & # 3764 Arthur Wadsworth Keyless Watch Co dial & movement Stemwind ( all SW parts missing ) Patented June 19 1866 15J
#4408 & 4644 Arthur Wadsworth Keyless Watch Co New York dial & movt. Patent June 19 1866 stem winders - slide lever set 15J

Dave
Thanks for the information & nice pictures - Just for your info the Pitkin that's marked "adjusted" is scarce - on the 110+ Newarks I have recorded only 6 others are marked adjusted.

7519 (Robert Fellows)

Both nice wtahces Dave, but it looks like someone flogged the dial from that Robert Fellows, when I first seen it, it carried a "Newark Watch Co" dial, case also has been changed

 

[watchbob]

I know someone out there has a W H Calhoun movement I believe # 7920 ?? That has a Newark Watch Works dial - That's the only info I show - I assume that W H Calhoun movement is Nashville Tenn. !

I'm know this isn't breaking news or anything, but it's always good to save original information like this.

Edit: it's located in the top right of the page under the highlighted Elgin information. The whole article is a good read about various watch companies.

Listing:
"Newark, Samuel W Benedict pocket watch, 691 Broadway, NY, 18-Size, coin silver original hunting case, key-wind key-set, white enamel single sunk dial signed "Benedicts Time Watch," lever escapement, 15 jewels, gilt movement, s#7810.

The Benedict Brothers of 691 Broadway advertised their "Benedicts' Time Watch" in a number of periodicals dated between 1868 and 1870 and this watch was offered in two grades, the "Ovington Benedict" and the "Samuel W Benedict" which were priced in silver cases at $30 and $45 respectively."

Bob, I see you got numbers from the John Fossette collection that was sold in 2015 but either you or Jones&Horan have a slight error. You recorded #6105 “Julius Walker” private label and the auction catalog shows that watch as #6705. I’m pretty sure it is the same watch.-Cort
