I am at my summer cottage and away from all of my resources. Can you give a bit of background on where this watch fit in the Lancaster lineup?

Watch him close, Robert! Last time I got an offer like that, they either needed some wood chopped or the grass cut. Very sneaky, these Yankees! Roll Eyes Big Grin

WOW! What a find! Congratulations!

What kind of case does it have?
That dial looks great, and the movement is so clean. Really Nice.

The nickel Adams & Perry should be the star watch of any Hamilton collection, but I know tastes vary. Here is the example from my collection.

Hey Ron I will bring a suitcase of watches so we could kick back and relax and admire watches.

Hey Mark Thanks for the advice but I would come with enough watches to talk about he will forget about the grass and if he needs any repair work I enjoy that especially since it seems I am always sitting in front of computer now dealing with watches.

Sheila yes I am happy I got a quite a few finds in this collection. The case is nothing fancy and did not think it warrented listing a picture. I actually thought it did not look like it was original but after thought was it being a 19 size chances are good it is original unless someone took the time to modify a 18 size.

Tom to bad mine wasn't a little closer in serial number you could have had consecutive serial #'s. I was hoping for your highly respected proffesional opinion on the other Watch

Jim it will be going up on my Ebay site as usual with no reserve along with many other nice pieces from this collection. I am not sure how soon I will have it up it seems as though the deals have rolled in and burried me lately and trying to dig my way out and keep a variety of stuff up for everyones interest.

Robert,
Just my opinion, but I think this one warrants a reserve price.
In the summertime, you never know.
This is the highest vacation time of the summer.
She's too nice to let go for pennies on the dollar.
(Sorry, just had to)

Thanks Sheila for your concern and I might decide to listen but I usually like to move them on out and my prices always seem to do well on a whole. I sold some today that I bought from the auction and overall did ok nothing great, lost on some and made on others. I would rather let them go so I have my money to go find more to sell. I found a bunch of enamel cases but nothing with a pansy yet. Wink

Okay Everyone Several of you wanted to know when I was posting this watch well I did and at no reserve!! So if it goes cheap I would rather see a fellow IHC member get it. I also listed several other nice pieces. Adams Perry Listing
