I have Aurora with dial printed "Wait Brothers". Has anyone heard of Wait Brothers?
Internet search found nothing, so far.

Hi Toby Joe,

The Wait Brothers had Jewellery concerns in "Ravenna Ohio" in the early 1880's as well as in Austin Minneapolis in the mid 1880's. I think from memory they were maybe originally called "Wait, Dewey & Co" during the very early years in Ravenna Ohio.

Some photos of the watch and a serial number would be nice as it helps in identifying the correct time framesSmile

Cheers,
Bila

Thanks, Toby

Steve is correct Toby Joe, it is Austin Minnesota (thanks William for picking that mis-info up), looks like I had done a cut and paste from one of my word documents and took info from two different Jeweler listings, sorrySmile

As for the photos, there is a few posts on this forum that explains the process for posting pics.
