New York Standard
The New York Standard Watch Company operated from 1885 to 1929. The company primarily produced inexpensive watches. Repair of these watches is very difficult, if not impossible, due to the lack of parts. These watches are generally not highly prized by collectors. Documented from an openly licensed real-object photograph on Wikimedia Commons; only the details stated by that source are recorded here. Remaining specifications are marked research required rather than estimated.
