Lindell V. RiddleGood move Claude,
As you know, the 105 Hunter was a full-blown Railroad Timekeeper at the time of production. By the way, too many collectors forget that going into the 1890s Hampden was the watch of choice among railroad men. In 1892 the first Hamilton 936/937 models were introduced and "The Watch of Railroad Accuracy" would soon eclipse all the others. But, you know because you have been inside them, higher grade Hampdens were as fine as any of the others.
Columbus followed by South-Bend, later Howards, Hampden, US Watch Company and of course Rockford each built great watches that are all too often overlooked... but that makes them more affordable for those in-the-know!
When you can, share a few images
in this same topic!Congratulations on finding an uncommon gem.
