100 years ago

Could this be Frank? I see it is in Dayton.

Sorry, of cause you are right! It says F. W. Gruen, Fred would have been F. G. Gruen. So yes, it is Frank!

New ad today with Electro number 114N and 137N (which we already had, but did we have the 114N?)
"Select a watch marked Gruen "Precision""

Whats Electro reference to? Where does that come from? I've never known what that means or i forgot.

I am not sure, I just used the expression @Fred brought up. I think that it is in regards of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrotyping

Today the Saturday Evening Post was running the 50th anniversary ad whcih Vogue had 10 days ago. Therefore I decided to go with this clipping about a Gruen presentation to C.J. Smith.

If you have bought 17-jewel green golden Gruen with a track medal as a fob it may be a item stolen 100 years ago.

Every time I see one of these, I think how cool it would be to find one that could be traced back. I know others have done it. Or reversed, to be contacted out of the blue, to hear about something from my own family!
