Seller's Description
Notes: Sent from Riverside, NJ to the Banque de Credit Serbe in Belgrade, Serbia (Servia on the cover). The highlight is the Philadelphia Watch Case Co. Crown logo Advertising stationery. Belgrade cancel on back. Nice Riverside cancel on front. ADDITIONAL NOTES: This cover may have notations made by a previous collector, or dealer. I left them there because they add valuable information, provenance, and history about the cover for you and me. Please use that information in valuing this cover. Please let me know if you have any questions. Good luck, and happy bidding!
The Philadelphia Watch Case Company made metal watch cases for a variety of pocket watch makers in the Victorian era, when most men carried a pocket watch. Until the 1920s, watches and watch cases were manufactured separately.
In 1884, a 23 year old Zurbrugg, who was born in Switzerland, founded the Philadelphia Watch Case Company on the east side of the 800 block of 19th Street. Zurbrugg bought out the existing watch case company of Leichty & Le Bouba, as well Hagstoz & Thorpe, another watch case firm that had erected a small factory on that block of 19th Street in 1880. Zurbrugg’s company soon employed hundreds of men, women, and children who produced 4,000 watch cases every day—about 1,250,000 a year. A crown was one trademark, an arm and hammer another.
The Philadelphia Watch Case Company, which later became the Keystone Watch Case Company, expanded rapidly after it began to produce gold-filled cases. It was once the sole maker of the solid gold “Keystone,” “James Boss” filled, “Keystone Sterling Silver,” and “Cyclone” rolled plate and silverroid watch cases. In making these watch cases, the firm used a process of bonding thin sheets of pure gold to a stronger base metal. These products were sold not only domestically, but also overseas to Swiss watchmakers.
