"The Brooklyn Watch Case Company was established in 1869 and incorporated in 1873 in Brooklyn, New York. The early company manufactured gold and silver cases. However, the silver case line was dropped in favor of their popular gold line. Eventually, the company introduced gold-filled cases as well. In 1888, the copmany introduced its "Granger" product line, a double-stock solid gold case featuring a layer of 14K on the outside and a lower karat solid gold on the inside. This innovative line of cases, available in 18, 16, 6, and 0 sizes, found immediate success in the market. In 1890, the company introduced a case with a patented dust band design. These "dust-proof" cases are uncommon and usually demand a premium in the collector market. In 1893, the company discontinued its "Wheat" case. The same year, Lewis A. Parsons, president of the company, died from a stroke. His son, Frederick E. Parsons, who served as the company's treasurer, died in August 1893 from malaria. The deaths of this father/son duo caused disruption in the momentum of the company. In 1894, the Brooklyn Watch Case Company was absorbed by the Fahys Watch Case Company. Fahys consolidated the offices and relocated the existing stock of the company. However, the company continued to manufacture and sell cases using the popular Brooklyn Watch Case Company name. George E. Fahys, son of Joseph, became president of the Brooklyn Watch Case Company. In 1896, production was also consolidated to the Fahys factory in Sag Harbor, Long Island. A separate entity, Joseph Fahys & Co. became the general sales agent for both companies. Brooklyn appears to have been fully absorbed by Fahys by 1919. Fahys continued to produce standard Brooklyn cases under the Fahys brand."
