Here is a hampden movement I found digging through more movements. The first thing I noticed was the flag so I knew it was a hampden. Looking it up in the book it shows it is a model 110 but the thing that I was wondering about is what are the initials marked on the movement and dial. Is this a private label I couldnt find any info about it being a private label and I couldnt figure out what else it would be. Any ideas???
THe letters look like TPD but not sure what order.

Took me a while to find this but I think the initials are TDP & Hampden made private label movements for the Tappins Diamond Palace, of Troy NY. Perhaps that is there mark.

I will see if I can find them using that mark on other items.

You are the man for digging up stuff on the internet Tom. Thanks I looked at the list of supposibly private labels and I tried every arrangement with those three initials and I couldnt find anything. Maybe you can dig up more, just not the typical markings seen on a watch even for a private label.

Yup, when it comes to digging stuff up on the internet, there's none better than Tom Brown.
