AA451. Hamilton 23 Jewel 950 Railroad Pocket Watch. This 16 size (case diameter 50 mm) was Hamilton's highest grade 16 size pocket watch when this watch was made in about 1928. The watch is lever set, 23 jewels, with bridge movement, raised gold jewel settings, fancy damasceening, mirror polish steel finish, fancy damasceening, and micrometer regulator. This has the jeweled mainspring barrel and is marked adjusted to 5 positions. The movement condition is excellent with normal light handling marks. The original porcelain dial has bold, boxcar numerals and is excellent with no chips, or scratches. There is a very, very faint hairline coming out from the center hole, but this is very hard to see, and this is a great dial. This has the original bold hands. The original bar over crown Model No. 2 case has the Hamilton crown and 1926 patent date. The case has only light wear and no brass. The crown and bow are just a little bit loose - not bad at all. Serial number of this movement is 2504159. $999 |

AA382. Hamilton 21 Jewel 992B Railroad Pocket Watch. This Hamilton is 16 size (case diameter 51 mm). The movement is the well-known Grade 992B, lever set, with 21 jewels, gold jewel settings, gold balance wheel screws, adjusted to 6 positions, temperature, and isochronism, with understated diagonal damaseening. Many consider this to be the finest mass-produced railroad grade pocket watch ever made. This the Elinvar Extra mainspring, which removed almost all temperature error. The movement is in excellent condition. The dial is original and made of composition material. Dial is excellent with some extremely faint and small scuffs. The case is stainless steel and original with Hamilton marking. These are by far the most durable cases Hamilton made, and will last for generation after generation of use, unlike the gold filled cases which wear very quickly in comparison. This is a very nice, all original 992B in very nice condition. $349 |

AA129. Nice Hamitlon 992 Railroad Pocket WatchThis Hamilton railroader is 16 size (case diameter 49 mm, or just over 1 7/8"). The movement is the famous Grade 992, lever set, adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism, and 5 positions, and fully certified for railroad timekeeping requirements. The movement is in excellent condition with very few handling marks, and has raised gold jewel settings, gold balance wheel screws, and gold center wheel. Lettering is sharp and bright. Nice clean good looking movement. The Montgomery (also called Numerical) dial has each minute marker labeled black with every 5 minutes marked with red. The dial is porcelain and original. The dial is flat out excellent, with some extremely faint hints of a hairline in the outer chapter. I had to use a loupe to convice myself these even exist. They are ultra minor, and the dial looks great! The case is white gold filled, screw back and screw bezel. The case has light wear on the front and sides, with possibly more moderate honest wear on the back. Regardless, the case looks good, and no brass is visible. The crystal is an unbreakable replacement and is like new. The serial number, 2409767, dates this watch to about 1926. $295 |
