    Maybe but just from his location I'd imagine he mostly gets American. It's pure Midwest farm country. Watches would have been handed down until a generation brought up on cell phones and smart watches had no use for great grandad's watch. Or they went to estate sales.Name:  Iowa-Corn-Fields-from-Third-Heaven-Ranch.png

    yeah that was my thinking to start with but sort guess a lot of early watches would be their depend location. before america started to make their own. but would think back mid 1800's that a lot would have been bought through the farming catalogs .

    well thats what I remember from all those old western anyway

    That is very good! I was on vacation at the time and did not have access to my reference books. It's a shame there is little interest in the smaller sizes such as these. Very cool.

    Thanks!
