Watch paper from a watch serviced by one of the Dominy Family clock makers. This decorative watch paper carries the name of Felix Dominy, Clock & Watch Maker, based in East Hampton, although many of the watch papers are from watch makers in New York City which were also serviced by the Dominy family. 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. At the point of repair, the business performing the maintenance would then place a watch paper advertising their own business inside the watch. This collection of 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 bears a numerical inscription that may be a date, 2-6-27." Also inscribed is "E. Edwards" and instructions to "clean " the watch, giving a price of what appears to be $0.75 for the work.
