G'Day, I'm trying to find some information on the HAMPDEN Canadian Pacific pocket watches. I've looked online but the information available is meager to say the least. I note that the "Complete Price Guide" lists 3 of the Hampden watches with the Canadian Pacific inscription on the movement. Thanks for your time and attention...….Joe. | ||

Thanks for taking time to respond Larry. Much appreciated. The photo of your watch is a bonus. The last line of your first paragraph is causing me some confusion. You indicate the watch was made in 1883 but then state the date coincides with the 7 Nov 1885 last spike date. I'm not sure I understand your point if the dates are two years apart. Is the case dated ? Do you have any information as to how/why these watches were created with the Canada Pacific dial and movement engraving ? Do you know if these were accepted into CPR use or merely commemorative ? Once again, thanks for your response...……..Joe | |||

Hello Joe: I'm having trouble with my computer photos, I'm going to straighten this out, and paste the other images tomorrow. Yes I was little out from the date the Pocket Watch was manufactured, and the date of the CPR had their last spike ceremony. Larry | |||

Dueber watch case trademark, in my 40 years of collecting pocket watches this is the first one I have seen in a hunter case | |||

Nice watches Larry ,I would speculate that these are pretty scarce . I cant recall seeing any production numbers ,Hampden info was all lost , but there are efforts to grade them at least. | ||||
