Question
I have a watch with no case.The face has O.L.R.&T co. on it and the inside says O.L. Rosenkrans and Thatcher Co.,but I can't find anything about it.Could you recommend a site with info.I'm stuck...thank you,Carol Hendrick
Ms. Carol,
This is called a private label watch. A jeweler has the manufacturer put the jeweler's name on the watch. That is the
case with Kenneth Cole, Eddie Bauer, etc. It has been a common practice for ages.
Do a search on the internet for O.L.R.&T co. and O.L. Rosenkrans and Thatcher Co. You are looking for a jewelry store most likely.
Kind regards,
Melvin
