A loaner E.H. Flach Watchmaker ,jeweler and Railroad watch depot in St Thomas Ontario. My friend also has #78. I don't know how many there were Confused but looks like it might have been 100. I guess with hundreds of RR employees in Elgin County and St.Thomas , there would have been lots of RR watches in for regular service, and civilian watches as well Big Grin I have also seen Flach private label dials and movements.

Nice Loaner case from E.H. Flach, St. Thomas Ontario here is an advertisement from a 1906 Locomotive Engineers souvenir program for a convention held at St. Thomas. It shows that E.H. Flach was an Official Watch Inspector for the Pere Marquette Railway, and a Ball Agent

Looking at my old timetables I see there is a connection between my previously posted JL Wilson, Woodstock Ontario private-label and St. Thomas, the Guelph subdivision ran from Toronto to London Ontario and Woodstock was 87 miles down the line where there was a junction for the 34 mile long St. Thomas subdivision.
