What I know so far:
Columbus Watch Company founded by Dietrich Gruen on December 22, 1874 in Columbus, Ohio.
From 1894 until 1903, the company produced watches under the names Columbus Watch Company and New Columbus Watch Company.
In 1903, the Columbus Watch Company was sold to the Studebakers and became the newly formed South Bend Watch Company.
The serial number 139000 would make it a built date between 1889 and 1890.
It is a model 2 movement, size 18s in a hunting case, and setting with lever.
