Chicago Coin Silver Misattributed
Known examples with this "Coin" and "Chicago" mark are generally from the early 1870s. This predates the era in which the Chicago Watch Case Company was manufacturing cases.
Blauer & Sperry manufactured silver watch cases out of Chicago from approximately 1866 to 1874. According to Crossman, Sperry ended up going to California to operate the case company for the California Watch Company (Cornell). Several surving examples of the "Coin Chicago" cases have been found paired with Cornell movements. This association supports possible attribution to August Sperry or Blauer & Sperry.
