18s Hampden in a display case
A few years ago I purchased this 23 Jewel Special Railway TuTone here on IHC, then last winter I purchased this display case here on IHC. I just thought it turned out nice when the two got together.

I thought the case markings along with the fact that the front and back are hinged was really different.

Detail doesn't show as well through the glass in this photo but looks good in person.

Very nice Mike, I love that huge gold jewel setting on the barrel arbor. Smile

Great looking watch. High grade Two tone movement in a marked display case makes for a super combo.

Mike that is a very nice watch. Your display case looks to be an earlier Dueber display case as the latter ones were made without the bail.

Thanks all. Yes, a high grade movement needs to be displayed and this is a super display case. The case it came in was no slouch but this sets it off really well.
