Does anyone have the database to approx year of case mfg by #'s?

I have a Model #3 Case with a 992B in it and
am thinking the case may be too old for the watch...
Case # is: 229600

I know 1st seen in 1926...but what was the last year it was available for purchase?

Watch # is: C21453...1940

Any help appreciated...I'd sure like that database if it exists...

Tom,

We have Hamilton-Wadsworth case databases in the Hamilton Research Forum.

Just from memory, the Case Model No. 3 which was made by Fahys started in 1926 and went out of production in the early 1930's.


Best Regards,

Ed

Ed;

So, this Model #3 wouldn't have housed a 992B, correct?

Thanks for the info...great auctions tonight!

Tom...You're correct. A Model 3 case is too old for a 992B from 1940.

Only Models "A",2,10,or 11 would be appropriate for that year. The Models "A" and 11 must have shouldered pendants.

Mitch:

What year did the Model A, and 11 change to unshouldered cases?
