Robbins & Appleton Price List: February 1, 1886


Early in 1886, this small price list catalog was distributed by Robbins & Appleton to advertise products from the American Waltham Watch Company and the Crescent Watch Case Company. In addition to the standard Waltham product line, the catalog introduced new grades to dealers including the No. 5, No. 15, No. 25, and No. 35. Private label movements were offered with a lead time of one month, engraved free of charge (except 7-Jewel grades), and private label dials could be added for fifty cents.
