For about 10 years (1915 - 1925 or so), Hamilton made this pendant setting model 956. It is a 17 Jewel, 3 adjustment, open faced "carry watch" with a fine double-sunk "sporty" dial, RR Hands, and a very very nice Hamilton "Clamshell" case. It rings of railroad watches, businessmen's watches and it is good enough to do either, but all 51,300 were made for commercial trade. It is listed as a $100.00 watch in the "bible"!? Heck people pay twice that for the case alone! Maybe we should petition Cooksey to explain the pricing guidelines a little more distinctly.

Great watch Dave, and great case I've always liked this style of case.

Great looking watch, Dave.... I think they are my favorite to collect, especiallly nice ones like the one you show here....

Contact me regarding another watch that needs a mainspring.... jerrydk7@msn.com

Nice watch David I am with you about the book most watches are under priced.I will buy that for a 100.00 I know you will not sell it not for that.
