Well since I can't use this Duber case on the 1886 Hampden, I've taken an 1886 Illinois Model 2 Grade 65 movement and it fits very nicley. But and there's always a but. Is this a likely match back then? Dueber from the east and Illinois from the central US? Or was it more lokely that a Elgin Case or illinois case would of originally been fitted to this movement. I do have later 1900's Illinois both 18s and 16s that come in Illinois cases. Thank you, Roland. R. Glenn | |||

Also is this actually a grade 65 movement with 15J or a grade 60-S as I had thought it was originally? R. Glenn | ||||

Opps, guess I should post the serial number. Getting older it seems. # 337350 and I've always liked the Chalmers regulators compaired to what Hampden utilized back then. R. Glenn | ||||

Roland my impression is that Deuber would sell cases to anyone and any company willing to purchase them. I think it was later that there were monopoly cases and all sorts of accusations of dumping and such that case companies became aligned with watch companies | ||||

Thank you Claude. Just wasn't sure if Dueber sold that far west back then. This case originally came on a Trenton. After Hampden moved to Canton in 88 then I could see them selling more to the midwest area. Just wasn't sure if in 86 it could be a match. Thx, Roland. R. Glenn | ||||
