Ok... I finally got pics of my granddad's watch.... I think it is circa 1910-ish, but will need to research a little more.

Nice watch..........

E. Howard & Co. was a clock and watch company formed by Edward Howard and Charles Rice in 1858, after the demise of the Boston Watch Company. The pair acquired some of the material and watches in progress, based upon a lien against the defunct company held by Rice, but they were unable to buy the existing factory or machinery, so they moved to Roxbury. Soon afterwards, Howard bought out Rice's interest and thereafter concentrated on high quality watches based on his own unique designs and eccentric production methods.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] E. Howard & Co. produced high grade watches, regulators, and marine clocks.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]
In 1881, after Howard sold out his interest and retired, E. Howard Watch & Clock Company was formed as a joint stock corporation on December 1, 1881 to succeed the earlier firm.

I believe time was created for our benefit and only for His Creation.
We have linear time, G-d works from event to event that fulfills His purpose
as He continues to restore mankind back to Him.

Looks beautiful!! :eek:
Thank you! I'm afraid to carry it... I don't want to damage it in any way... I don't think it has a lot of monetary value, but the family, "sentimental" value is huge to me.

I googled the brand and some of the old watches were being auctioned and or sold for upwards of $4000 to $6500......
