Watch paper from a watch serviced by one of the Dominy Family clock makers. This watch paper carries the name of James Gemmel Watch Maker, based on Broad Way in New York City. Stephen Manheimer notes watch papers were really as much a form of decorative material as they were advertising. The papers would have also helped the watch components fit together. Papers from a prior watch maker would have been removed and repaired when a watch was repaired or serviced. These watch papers were acquired as a lot from an antique dealer in Southampton selling many documents from the Dominy workshop. The Dominy accounts in the holdings at Winterthur offer corresponding details for many of the watch papers in this collection, as per Stephen Manheimer. This particular watch paper emphasizes the technology used in the watch. A numerical notation, possibly "31" appears twice on the back of the watch paper.
