I was wondering if anyone had any information on the ELAINE WATCH CO.

Any information is appreciated.

Hi,
I found an Elaine name listed under Bayer Pretzfeider & Mills: Inc., NYC

Not much, but I hope it helps some.

Adam,
Your welcome, and I also did a search, and got nothing at all. I found the information above in one of my Trademark books. If you find anything, post it for me ok?

There is an Elaine ladies wrist watch on Ebay, enameled case, 6 jewels I think and not running. I neglected to save the link but found it by searching for elaine in the title and description fields in the wrist watch section.

I've had a terrific Elaine WGF large tonneau csae for ages. A few weeks ago I bought a big box of watch dreck amongst which turned up an AS 340 mv't signed Elaine with it's Elaine signed dial with wgf numerals. I have a customer/friend
named Elaine who has actually nagged me to hurry up and find the right stuff to fill this case! It is still a work in progress but I'll post a pic of the final product here. It's been a "back burner" project that, looks like, will have been worth the wait (10 yrs.?).

Adam, Do you have Kathleen Pritchard's Swiss Watches book? I do and will forward the info on Elaine if you need it.

My search was for "Bayer Pretzfeider & Mills: Inc., NYC"

I didn't really look for the Elaine name after I found the link between the two, but I'm sure there are more with that name, I do remember them.

I'll post if I find more, still looking.

Good info you guys

I knew I had seen that name before and it is listed as the (ELAINE WATCH CO) listed in the name I mentioned above,

Bayer Pretzfeider & Mills: Inc., NYC

So they used the Elaine Watch Co. as theirs!

before I thought it was just a named watch, but it is listed in Ehrhardt's book as the name of a company listed under the Bayer Pretzfeider & Mills Inc NYC Co.

His book also mentions many Elaine names, but I'm having a hard time finding them, but I have seen more of them, so I'm still searching.

Thank you for all of the information everyone! It is appreciated. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Cort,

I would be interested in the information if you could send it to me. Also, do you have a picture of the Elaine watch that you have? Mine is a HUGE rectangular watch with metal dial.

Thanks,

Adam
