Watch clearly says "Shreve, Treat & Eacret." In the original green leather box with a felt interior. Leather on box is deteriorating, there is missing material on the watch by the ten, and an hairline fracture runs from the center to the 10.

George Shreve had taken over the family jewelry business by 1910. In 1912, however, he severed his relationship with Shreve & Company and bought a controlling interest in the jewelry firm of Treat and Eacret, which then became Shreve, Treat & Eacret. Godfrey Eacret had formerly been a diamond expert for Shreve & Company. The company was purchased in 1941 by the Granat Brothers. City: San Francisco State: California Date: hwac# 22750
