Can someone post a pic of what a set of hands on an early 940 (serial number 180697) would look like.
thanx Eric

Eric,

There were a few choices and variations in Hamilton hands around the turn-of-the-century, specifically 1902 when your 940 number 180697 was produced. Hands were not as bold then as they would become in later years. The hands and for that matter the dials you see below on 140158 on the left from 1901 and 483621 on the right from 1906 are fairly typical of that era.

Below, representative correct for around 1902 Hamilton hands...

Would it make a differance if it were for candian railway use? this is a canadian watch marked special and a town in ontario. it has a 24 hour dial as well.

Thats them! #114 in your cataloge pic. thanx lindell I thought maybe they were not correct but see now they are.

Lindell,
I'm a little confused. The four sets of hands on the left all seem to have minute hands with a square hole broached in them , indicating use on a key set movement. Since Hamilton never made a key set movement, are you sure these hands were made for Hamilton watches?
