Years of Operation: 1885-1893

Successor: Crescent Watch Case Co.

Organized May 5, 1885. Absorbed by the Crescent Watch Case Company in 1893.

Collectibility: Bay State cases are uncommon and generally enhance the collectibility of a watch when in reasonable condition. Some cases are derived from patented designs, and those marked with patents are quite rare.

In the spring of 1892, Charles F. Morrill, president of the company, sold his stock due to illness and retired.
