ARTIFACT:
What we have here is a lovely Waltham Watch Grade No. 620, Size 16s, Model 1899, 15 Jewels in a 20 Year Hunter Case. The watch has an elaborate monogram on the exterior, JAS, and is beautifully engraved on the interior to a Certified Accountant:
PRESENTED TO:
J. ANGUS STEVEN, C. A.
BY A FEW FRIENDS
ON THE
OCCASION
Of his leaving for Chicago
JANUARY 1909
And perhaps the most interesting feature of the watch is the beautiful "Gibson Girl" whose portrait fills the enamel dial!
J. Angus Steven had a long career in Illinois: in Chicago at least through 1925, and still practicing in Wilmette in 1953, almost 50 years from his departure for Chicago!
