我也來扮扮小販專家 (其實這些小販是誰啊, pm我可以嗎?), 不同的是我把資料來源一併提供......要找其實易如反掌的, 小販專家們為何只提供少許資料給樓主呢? 說成罕有, 珍品, 好雕刻呢? 我不敢下定論, 大家自己想...
正如Loui版大所說, 三色表早就有很多了, Waltham, Elgin, 等知名的美國表都有出過, 可以說是當時一種潮流.....
以下是Roy殼公司的資料, 由NACWW网轉載, http://mb.nawcc.org/showwiki.php?title=Roy+Watch+Case+Co&&highlight=roy+case+company只用作智識交流.
大概說Roy1885年在布克林開始, 1889年後只做14K及18K殼, 公認是高質素的, 通常是精雕, 有凸金裝飾圖案或法瑯裝飾, 也有寶石裝入殼上, 也有做光殼的.1929年主人心藏病發, 玩完!
Roy早期? - 1891-? hallmark標記用"手"的, 表示他們用人手雕刻的....
 上圖可看到Roy的精美浮雕風格...
Roy後來有在殼上做微相片轉印的:
一九二0年Roy改標記, 只用"ROY".....
所以肯定 LZ的是1920-1929的!機心號24849106, 是1925年的
看看hallmark: (謝謝有心人的圖 )
再看LZ的, 嘩....點解質素相差那麼多啊!
LZ的很粗糙啊 (不要再問如何粗糙, 盲的都見到!)
還有壓印不平均, 還要壓了二次, 莫非第一次不夠力 ???,有名的殼廠出這樣質素的產品???!!!
樓主有否無聊地修改過圖來玩玩我們?.gif)
LZ這也是roy殼嗎? keystone? 大家看過我對Engraving的膚淺見解後, 現在應該看得出這和我一直談論LZ的另一殼的雕刻手法是一模一樣的........
現我也相信老表兄, 可能東歐做的, 他見識比小弟多很多
以上只是小弟武斷地單靠LZ的幾張相所得出的粗淺觀察, 如有錯漏, 請勿見怪及斧正!
多多包函了!
Roy Watch Case Co.: A Brief HistoryAccording to the book "History of the American Watch Case," Warren H. Niebling, Whitmore Publishing, Philadelphia, PA, 1971, page 49 (available on loan by mail to members from the NAWCC Lending Library), the Roy Watch Case Co. started in Brooklyn, NY in 1885, a fact confirmed by an article in the [url=http://eagle.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib owLevelEntityToSaveGifMSIE_BEAGLE&Type=text/html&Locale=english-skin-custom& ath=BEG/1885/06/19&ChunkNum=-1&ID=Ar00606]Brooklyn Eagle[/url] (uncovered by Robert Sweet). The company's name was based upon that of one of its incorporators - and until 1889, a stockholder - Augustin X. Roy. It was a successful operation, recognized as making quality cases. Roy only made 14K and 18K gold cases, which were usually heavily engraved, often having raised gold ornamentation and enameled decoration. Embedded jewels were also set into cases. However, Roy also had plain cases in their line. Robert Sweet found the following obituary in the May 13, 1952 edition of the New York Times: "Albert L. Stearns, president and treasurer of the Roy Watch Case Company from 1904 until the firm was dissolved in 1929, died yesterday of a heart attack." Thus it is seen that the company lasted just about up to the depression.
[hide] - [top]The Hand Trade MarkBy the early 1890s, Roy had started using a hand as a trade mark, symbolizing the hand-engraving of the cases. This trade mark continued to be used at the turn of the century, when ads show its appearance as a tag for the case. The hand trade mark remained in use at least as late as 1914, as seen in an ad posted on the Elgin Watch Collectors Site. However, the name [url=http://mb.nawcc.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=64844&d=1277846558Roy" in an arch[/url] is more frequently seen stamped in the cases.
[hide] - [top]Photo MiniaturesRoy was also well-known for the use of a photo-reproduction process to customize cases by reproducing photographs on the cap (cuvette). That same Elgin Watch Collectors website, mentioned earlier, has an early ad (1891) showing Roy's offering of reproducing photo miniatures on their cases. This service was apparently run at Roy by, or contracted out to, Léon Favre, who was featured in Roy's 1893 Chicago World's Fair exhibit, and who, following the fair in the Fall of 1893, ended the relationship. Nevertheless, Roy continued to offer the photo-on-case service which continued to be promoted in ads.
[hide] - [top]The Ægis CaseBy 1908, Roy was promoting a new case design, the patented Ægis case. In this design, the movement is held in a "movement cup" which is then friction fit into a one-piece center ring and bezel. The design was claimed to be dust-tight.
[hide] - [top]Roy vs. Camm-Roy
The Camm-Roy Watch Case Co. was a separate company entirely from the Roy Watch Case Co. Its name was originally the Roy Manufacturing Co. This firm was started by a group of investors including Frank L. Camm and Augustin X. Roy, the person who was one of the founders of the Roy Watch Case Co. and for whom it was named. Upon the name change to Camm-Roy Watch Case Co. on May 18, 1899, the Roy Watch Case Co. brought suit and sought an injunction to prevent Camm-Roy from using that name, claiming that it led customers to believe that the Roy Watch Case Co. was associated with Camm, which it wasn't. Additionally, the Roy Watch Case Co. took out ads in the trade press pointing out that there was no association of two and that legal proceedings had been started; and that its only sales representative was A.L. Stearns. This was to ensure that its customers didn't inadvertently give their orders to Camm-Roy. However, it was nowhere alleged that Camm-Roy salesmen either misrepresented themselves as the Roy salesman, or that the two companies were one. The injunction was granted, favoring the Roy Watch Case Co. in late June 1899, whereupon Camm-Roy changed its name again, this time to the Camm Watch Case Co. Nevertheless, testimony was still being given on the subject in November of that year. Additional information is available at Loislaw.com. |
