Picked this up at the last show...no one knew anything about it or who these people were...
#783551 Early 992 Lever Set






All I know for sure is it's a 4 footed dial as it should be...Maybe Tom B. can identify?
Thanks

Hello Tom:

Hamilton ledgers indicate that Hamilton 992L Serial No. 783551 was finished August 10, 1910, and sold on October 10, 1910 to (really hard to read initials) but could be AS Hitchcock Co. of Syracuse, New York.

Larry

Well it might take some work to figure out who or what B.J. Co. was.

From the information Larry provided I found a Alfred H. Hitchcock that was listed in the 1880 census in Syracuse NY as a jeweler. He was born about 1860 in NY.

Tom

There was another jeweler in Syracuse a Hitchcock & Morse Jewelers. They were William P. Hitchcock & Jas. H. Morse.

Any help appreciated, Tom...of course the dial may not be original to the movement, just wanted to see who these people were and where from
