E Howard Watch Serial Numbers

These watches, dubbed 'Keystone-Howards' by collectors, are not as highly prized by collectors as original E. Howard watches, though many were fine watches in their own right. For information on original 'pre-Keystone' Howard watches, please see our Howard Company History page. Keystone-Howard is NOT Keystone Standard. The serial number for this double roller balance wheel movement is 915,272 which tells me it is from the year 1903. As clean as can be and again perfectly running will this serviced E Howard American made pocket watch come to you in;-) 550.00 USD.
