Hello Roland,

Even though they were not a watch company but a case manufacturer the correct name is as Gerald said, the "North American Watch Company" and their cases were made in Mansfield, Ohio.

Thank you both. Figured that's what it stood for, but just needed an extra thought or two on this. Much appreciated.
Roland.

Opps, should of added this in previous post. What is the gold-filled rating on this version? Maybe 5yrs? And any way to tell what year it was made? I know the company started in 1902 and went till 1925, I believe. Thank you, Roland.
