Hello Peter, On page 69 of the 1976 Ehrhardt's Trade-Mark book we find the Star Watch Case use of "Sceptre" under their 20 and 25 year Gold-Filled examples. Lindell  | |||

Lindell, Is this page posted anywhere on the IHC website? Regards, Jon | ||||

Thanks Lindell. | |||

Hi Jon, This is one of many projects we have in mind. Eventually we will see if we can scan and post some of these, meantime we can post answers to your questions. I would, however, caution the format of the various Trade-Mark books can be difficult to understand, it takes a bit of study to figure them out. Lindell | |||

Lindell, Some of the "stamped" data on pocket watch cases can be tricky at best. However, if you can master a few of the trade-marks that do not clearly state the case is GF you can procure something sold as a "base metal" from time to time. Thus, adding to the value of the overall watch, in my humble opinion. A nice GF case is getting harder and more expensive to find. Looking forward to trade-mark data finding its way to the IHC board. All the best | ||||

This may be naive, but it seems that if a case is solid gold it is pretty well marked as such, but if it is gold filled, it is Named, or hedged a bit. An example, I got burned on as my first ever watch purchase. It was a Fahy Monarch, marked 14K, but named Monarch. Plated!!!!, I paid gold price for it. Ouch!! | |||
