New York StandardThis is an open-face pocket watch dated to 1885 by the New York Standard Watch Company. The New York Standard Watch Company operated from 1885 until 1929, primarily manufacturing inexpensive watches. Repairing these watches is considered very difficult, if not impossible, owing to an absence of spare parts, and they are generally not highly prized by collectors.
