Mike You may already know this but in case you don't & are interested. J.P. Stevens was born March 23,1852 in Lumpkin Georgia, his wife was born in Atlanta on Dec. 9, 1858& her name was Jeannie. This image is from 1877 Atlanta City Directory. Tom | |||

This is a little torn, it is from the Sep 8, 1881 Atlanta Constitution. Also doing a google search the business name is still active in Atlanta. Tom | |||
Tom, I luv yer followups! I googled Markham House and see that it was located across from Atlanta's main RR terminal until it burned in 1896. That location would seem to suit a watch guy. Stevens obviously moved to Whitehall street after the fire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markham_House | ||||
The case of this watch was mfg'd by B.P. & W. (see above picture). I would like to know what these initials stand for. Please help. Mike | ||||

Mike Looking through US Horological Trademark Index I can't find BP&W, other than the 14K mark you show there isn't any other trade mark is there? Tom | |||

So far the only other thing I could find was back in 2008 Jones-Horan auctioned a 16s Elgin in a 18K BP&W case, there were no photos or other information. | |||
