This high quality watch features a gothic monogram with the initials ESD and a presentation engraving on the cuvette “To Superintendent Edward S. Dean From Five Hundred Employees P. B. & P. Mg. Co. March 24, 1914”. As an active Templar in the early 20th century, Mr. Dean was celebrated for bettering working conditions for his employees at the Pierce, Butler & Pierce Manufacturing Company in Syracuse, New York. The company specialized in sanitary products for the bathroom and was founded in 1839, later going out of business during the Great Depression.
