For those who want a private label from every state or just happen to admire unusual watches, check this IHC185 Auction...

NEBRASKA PRIVATE LABEL ROCKFORD "The Busy Jeweler" (ENDS SUNDAY 29TH AT 22:00 EDT)

It would be interesting to know more about "H.M. Dayton, The Busy Jeweler from Alma, Nebraska".

In the 1920 census for Alma Nebraska there is a Henry M. Dayton born about 1873 in Illinois, he is listed as a jeweler at a jewelery store, he was married to Nellie & they had daughters Elsie & Lola, sons Wilbur & Clarence.

Thanks a million Tom!

Looks like everything we want to know is out there, we just have to know where to look and how to look there! Thanks for all you do to help all of us my friend.

I like that "The Busy Jeweler" slogan!

Glad to help, just wish I could find more. I was hoping to find something about why he was "The Busy Jeweler" I like that too.
