I would love to know what you guys have on watch hands. Anything you have would be great, I have nothing at all.
Thank you,

Sheila, What do you want to know about watch hands? Wasn't one of your Lissauer papers about American watch hands? The only thing I know about is in the Rockford section, page 364 of the 2005 Shugart's watch guide, showing and naming most of the American watch hand styles......................Keith

Hi Keith,
I just found it too! same page in the 2006 book!

I also found the ones for Elgins that I spent forever looking for, and I've been there a thousand times.

I wonder if these are common for ALL American Watches?

These are a few of them. It shows the names, I always forget them so I have to look them up when I need to know the names.

No I have not written a paper on Lissauer yet. I have a lot of new information and ephemera to add to what I already have.
