I hope somone can help answer this about the various Hamilton Model Cases there was a post on Sept 04 2005 showing a Model #9 I did not know there was one. I thought I had all the Models in my collection, the ones that are in Cooksey Shugart guide to watches. Does anybody have more information on the Model #9 and a good picture of it and who made the case and was it marked Hamilton Railroad Model. Also how many models did Hamilton use?
Thanks
