<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 213447, member: 44"]I'm baffled by this mark also. It seens Bornand & Co. is/was a Swiss watch maker or a watch case maker. By Googling the name up pops several watches. Here is the company listed in a watch related book - Holkin's <font size="4"><i>Collecting Clocks Clock Repairs & Trademarks Index and Clock Repairs, </i>p. 183, top of middle column. The company is listed for watches and watch repair with a date if 17/4/1900 (USA reading 4/17/1900). This is presumably a Swiss listing of watch companies, but for this company it says St. Croix. The index says Switzerland for the company.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=vTG_CQAAQBAJ&pg=PA183&lpg=PA183&dq=%22bornand+%26+Co%22+watches&source=bl&ots=EmpA9pUSNs&sig=rQ4RsXdSY5NFfpSQH3N0NQIp_tU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid4eu7sJrSAhUFQCYKHe40D1IQ6AEIGjAA#v=onepage&q=%22bornand%20%26%20Co%22%20watches&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=vTG_CQAAQBAJ&pg=PA183&lpg=PA183&dq=%22bornand+%26+Co%22+watches&source=bl&ots=EmpA9pUSNs&sig=rQ4RsXdSY5NFfpSQH3N0NQIp_tU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid4eu7sJrSAhUFQCYKHe40D1IQ6AEIGjAA#v=onepage&q=%22bornand%20%26%20Co%22%20watches&f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=vTG_CQAAQBAJ&pg=PA183&lpg=PA183&dq="bornand+&+Co"+watches&source=bl&ots=EmpA9pUSNs&sig=rQ4RsXdSY5NFfpSQH3N0NQIp_tU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid4eu7sJrSAhUFQCYKHe40D1IQ6AEIGjAA#v=onepage&q="bornand & Co" watches&f=false</a></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Nowwww.. this may not be the same because of the Eug before it.
