Do not know jewel count.Doesn't run.It is lever set.Missing regulator s/n 362545 marked Wm.W.Burwell Stafford Springs,Ct. Think it was made 1885. Any info would be appreciated.

Richard M. JonesHi Roger, Your watch has a rather scarce dial, sort of Gothic and it is a private label. Any other Hampden of that model will have the regulator arm and if I find a spare I can send you one. Actually if I find 2 since I have a movement with the same problem! Your watch would look nice in a Dueber silverine case if you have one. The build quality on your watch is reasonably good and the Teske regulator was used on thousands of Hampdens. If I can help a Hampden fan let me know.

David AbbeI have three Hampden regulator arms. Try to measure which one you need.
Deaconn which one do you need? Also I have your dial here still.

David AbbeActually, I think the regulator pins for your type MIGHT be in the arm body kinda like this New Railway I am restoring now. I have to look around some more.
If I am wrong (because your hairspring stud is waaay different) then the longer one should work on yours. I think you need a motor barrel too, and that suggests a V E R Y Close l@@k for anything else that might be misssing.
