Nice Hamp, Roger....looks to be very clean and I'm sure will be a good runner....

Thanks for showing it....

I'm seeing those mounting screw washers more and more these days, it seems....wonder why...?

Regards,

Jerry

Nice watch Roger, I like that dial.

Jerry, for some strange reason I see washers like that on Hampden's more than any other watch.

Roger, Nice watch, I have one of it's kin.
15 Jewel, Adjusted, Mod.2, gilded, SN# 783965, 1890, Grade 49 in a J. Boss 20 yr GF case.

From what I read the Fahy's Monarch was 20 yr Gold filled case from the late 1890's on. Before that I have no info.

My little Mac resizer doesn't work that well, according to it my pic is 222kb
