I saw this watch on Ebay. they say it is a Hampden. I have never seen one like it. I thought Ingersol or Westclox did most of the charactor watches. Waht can anybody tell me about this watch?

Here is the movement

Here is info about the case

Steve,

The movement is a 15 jewel Hampden...The dial, that is very difficult to tell.. Could be a current computer generated add on or who knows..?? ask the seller some questions about it.. Serial number appears a bit early for "Ruth"..

Thanks John, i will ask the seller about the face

Steve,

100% A FAKE. I am going to post some more information under the link which Lindell Provided if you would like to take a look.

Thanks,

Adam

Thanks Lindell and Adam, I just learned alot in a short time. this seller in response to my email claimed they didn't know if the watch was real or not and they asked me if I could help. should I respond? Should I tell them I know it's a fake and how I know?
Thanks Again,
Steve

Steve,

I agree with Lindell 100%. A lot of times people will purchase something at an antique shop or flea market and not know it isn't original. With all of the fakes out there, some very well done, It is sometimes very hard to tell for a collector, let alone someone who is not. The seller seems honest and gave you an honest reply. They seem to want to know, so I wouldn't hesitate to reply.

Just my 2 cents.

Adam

Lindell & Adam,
I will clue in the seller and inform them about Chapter 185. They seem sincere about their lack of knowledge.
