![]() ![]() I found the link to the Rockford Private Label Full List of serial numbers on the NAWCC 149 web site, and my SN falls between several watches manufactured in 1905.Ĭan anyone tell me if the data base can be added to, if a watch can be verified? I am a total newbie at this, what does 'GRADE' mean and how is it determined? I had found & tried the SN data base you mentioned and got the same results that do not seem to apply to my watch, hence some of my confusion on dating it. The Article has an exact match on page 14 under the heading 'Model 5 Special', with a serial number quite close to mine and 'Grade 101s' in the description. The movement definitely is not the Grade 115 on the above nawcc thread. ![]() It resembles the Rockford Grade 115 shown in this thread: Your serial number entered in this Rockford database does not match your watch.Īlso does not match Elgin, Hamilton, Illinois, South Bend or Waltham.

The inside of the back case says 'Plymouth Perfect Warranted' with the serial number 1432254. The serial number on the movement is 663351. The back of the case has the personalized letter H on it which is my Grandfather's last name initial.įrom D.G.Artzner's book "Review of Rockford Watch Co." it appears to be what he has labeled the 'Model 5 Special. From what research I have been able to do, I believe it is a Rockford Plymouth label 'Prince of Wales' size 16, 21 jewels. Hello, I got this pocket watch recently when my father passed away. ![]()
