Larry BuchanGary, according to Hamilton Watch Co. ledgers, you're Hamilton Grade 924, Serial No. 252218, pocket watch was was finished on April 15, 1903, and was sold on May 6, 1903 to Jos (Joseph) Nelson Co. of Dunkirk, New York, the wholesaler bought seven other watches from the same run, they included 252217 to 252223. It's quite possible that there were six other private labels made.
