Hi Robert. Love your watch. I dont know know much about them but they sure look nice. I am assuming that is a 20 jwl watch and has been recased at some point. What vintage is it and what did they use for cases.

Thank's John I am trying to find out more also on these pieces and get more information about the cases...

Nice watch Robert..Do you have any idea how many how many of the A & P models were made???

To answer John's question yes it's a 20 jewel watch. And to Gary's question the A&P sold the company to the Lancaster Watch Co. in August 1877. prod. 800-1,000 watches

That is a real treasure Robert. Just to be sure is it #1259?

Here is a LINK to the Canadian Jeweller with several ads and references to Lancaster.

Just give it a few seconds and each of those little yellow markers at the bottom will take you to a Lancaster reference.

Yes Lorne, It's a 1259 s.n.

Thanks a lot Lorne, I like any and all info i can receive on this early window of time...
