Hi all. Picked up an 18s US Watch Co. with a very ornate gold-filled screw-cover case. The only markings are RS & Co. or it reads SR & Co. and the serial number 46522.
So my question is. Who made this case. I bought it from a Canadian seller so it maybe a maker from up these ways as it only has one set of movement screw indents from the USWCO movement.
Thank you, Roland.

This is the ornate finishing to the back cover.

And this is the edging.

Sears?

I dunno, Roland, but that is one sweet case .

Looking through the books I have on trademarks & also books on watch cases I can't find that mark.

I don't know about Sears & Roebuck Co., I have a catalog from 1902 of theirs & unfortunately it doesn't show the trademark on the cases they sold, they did have a watch paper in the backs guaranteeing the plating & it is marked Sears, Roebuck & Co. They also sold the major brands of cases so I don't really know if they had any of their own

A Google search revealed that logo was indeed from Sears and Roebuck.

Where did you find it at? I tried earlier but missed it.

After you click on the correct page, scroll down for a picture of the SR&Co. label on another watch case.

You're awesome Mike. I never even thought of Sears & Roebuck.
Thank you.
