Can anyone tell me anything about this dial?
Have you ever seen one?

Shweeeeet! now that is cool. Sorry I can't help you on the technical side.

Phil is that etched into the porcelain?

Dave, dial not here yet. Like all of my "stuff" it will be for sale. Was trying to learn if one of a kind or not.

Judging from the Hampden signature down above the seconds chapter, it was intended for this art. Rare indeed, Hand-Colored. I would appreciate it especially if the picture is engraved by an artist. What movement is it on?

Nice Phil, what movement is in there?...Ted.

The movement is 18 size 17 jewel. I am a sucker for dials and cases.
I also bought a mint Hamilton/Illinois 163a with a mint "23 J" dial.
Might send it to the J&H auction May 3rd
if not too late to get it in the catalog. Unless there is interest here.

Thanks Phil, that beautiful dial may just be a one-off , never seen another like it.That makes 2 "new" Hampden dials that just came to light.I'm wondering if Deacon knows anything about that one!

The Hampden or the Hamilton/Illinois?

What is the serial number of the Hampden?
