John Hancock Hampden
It was getting quiet in here , so here is my latest a 21j Hampden John Hancock. In a nice 20 yr case . I also picked up a Hampden from our site, Fred is selling a bunch of watches at 23jewel.com . If you have not looked yet he has just about 1 of everything

Nice Hancock Kevin! Hopefully, you'll be able to find a better dial.That Canton-marked dial is pretty hard to find, it is usually on the John Hancock's, probably because it isn't marked on the movement itself.I have a Larose reproduction just like it, but not Canton marked, you are welcome to it if you'd like it for the time being. Regards, Ted.

Ted , I may take you up on it , I have one that is better , but not Canton marked . The other Hampden is a special railway I bought from Fred , and that dial is trashed too . Nice to know about the Canton mark on the john Hancocks ,it will speed up searching

Kevin, I've been checking out Fred's nice collection, I almost can't bear to look at them, there are so many I'd like to have, but my budget doesn't let me! If you do end up needing the dial, just let me know.Take care, Ted.

Kevin, I forgot to say, in case you didn't know, the dial feet positions between hunting and open face are different on 18s Hampdens,you'll have to check which one it is if you do find one...Ted.
