Question
I'm trying to date a watch I have.  It is an Ingraham with Dale underneath the Ingraham.  It was made in Bristol, Connecticut.  I noticed different names under the Ingraham on different watches on the net.  Was that the person that built it?  Thanks for your help.

Answer
Michelle,

Ingraham was around from 1912 to 1968.  My grandfather worked in the rubber plant in Connecticut during the war and bought an Ingraham watch when he was there. My cousin still has it today.

Dale is the model.  They had a wide range of names:  aristocrat, dale, laddie, just to name 3.

Kind regards,

Melvin
