Identification: Case marks by Roy & Co. are easily identified with the "Roy & Co." name either stamped of embossed. Cases are generally accompanied with a crown mark under the "Roy & Co." name. Cases have been recorded paired with movements through the 1890s, indicating that the company may have continued to use the "Roy & Co." name on cases even after the company name changed to "Roy Mfg. Co." Though, a small number of cases have been recorded with the "Roy Mfg. Co." mark. Cases from "Roy & Co." should not be confused with cases simply marked "Roy," which are properly attributed to the Roy Watch Case Company.
