DaveH Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 does anyone know of L Eberlin Pocket Watches, I am assuming this is Louis Eberlin Looks like Eberlin to me. Nice pocket watch, except that this one appears to be missing an hour hand (or, as Hilda Baker would have said, "It nearly 20 to...eee I'l have to get a little hand put on this watch") and the seconds hand on the smaller seconds dial. Not heard of Eberlin watches before, even locally. Eberlin is a German name more usually associated with a musical composer than a watch manufacturer. Nice watch, - so where did you get it? By the way we never managed to repair that carriage clock on your mantlepiece with the 400 day movement rotating torsional pendulum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 An Internet search reveals that there is a company in America called Eberlin Instruments that make scientific instruments. they don;t make timepieces but tend to make radiation detectors, infra red heat flow detectors, Geiger counters and a variety of scectroscopes and spectrometers. So far that's the nearest I can come up with. Try putting an advert out in the want ads in Exchange & Mart WANTED An hour hand and a seconds hand to fit an old Eberlin pocket watch. ....and see if you get any response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was buried 19 June 1919 at the General Cemetery. His father was Frederick Eberlin a pork butcher born in Germany. Louis had several brothers but none of them were involved in watchmaking.

AnnieR Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Louis Eberlin married Elizabeth Clark Ridgway in 1882. I've not found any children for them. Louis's father Frederick married twice. The first time was to Ann Wagstaff in Sheffield in 1849. She had twins Joseph and Rosina but Joseph died age 3 wks, Rosina died age 10 mths and Ann died age 21 all in 1849/50. Second wife was Sarah, not found a marriage for them. I've found 9 children. George Frederick b.1854, d.1855 William b.1855, Pork butcher. 1919 at 907-909 Penistone Rd, Owlerton Frederick b.1856, Pork butcher. 1911 and 1919 a pork and meat purveyor, pork pie, sausage and polony maker at 437-439 London Rd Louis b.1858 the watchmaker and jeweller Elizabeth b.1859 Edwin b. 1861. This one is a distant ancestor through his wife Edith Horsfield. In 1905 he was a joiner and undertaker at 153 Myrtle Rd. Odd combination of occupations but I suppose he could knock up a few coffins! Albert b.1863. In 1881 he was a pharmaceutical apprentice and then moved to Nottingham Florence b.1865 and died age 5 mths Luther b. 1866. He was a drapers apprentice in 1881. Albert had 2 sons Albert and Frederick. Frederick Harold Maden Eberlin, 2nd lieutenant Royal Flying Corps, Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and 3rd Bn died age 20 in 1917. I've not got a subscription at present to find them after the 1881 census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
