New York Standard, Grade 41, c.1894
![Grade 41, Size 18, Open Face, Lever-Set, c.1894](https://blog.pocketwatchdatabase.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/129763259_385718985852356_7776753756915752589_n-1024x1024.jpg)
The New York Standard Watch Company specialized in inexpensive watches for the low-end market. As a result, most have been “trashed” over the years and not many have survived in prime condition. However, I recently came across this example in nearly pristine condition. This represents the finest watch offered by the company at the time, featuring 11 jewels in raised settings, a glass enameled dial, and “morning glory” hands.⠀
