Can Anyone Help Me With Any Info On A Bradley Bros. Pocket Watch "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
Can anyone help me with some info on this pocket watch? The only thing I can find on this watch is that the Bradley Bros. were jewelers at 220 York Street, Windsor, Ontario, Canada. They were listed in the Essex County Business Directory in 1899 and also in the Ontario Commercial Year Book and Gezetteer in 1906. It appears to be a size 12. Any info would be great. Like year made? Did they make this movement or was it made by someone else for them? Did they have a jewellery store or were they just watch maker's in the day? I've included 3 pictures of the watch to help. Thanks.
Regards, Gord

The micro regulator is a give away as Elgin. I do not think any other maker ever used a similar set up. I like it but then I like all the Hampdens with what I call the Hampden golf club regulator which also seems to be only found on Hampdens.
