Hampden RRG Private Label? "Click" to Login or Register

Hi All,

I have a Hampden 18s lever set 17 Jewel watch that is a Dueber Grand Grade by the database, serial# 1708204, but it does not have the normal factory markings. It is only marked with the word "Lucile" adjusted 17 jewels, not the normal factory name and such. I know there was a town in South Carolina that carried this name, I was wondering if could have been the name of a jeweller there or some thing along those lines, the name looks factory with the writing having the correct type of gold filling as the other markings on the movement.

Regards to All,
Bila

There also are towns by that name in Oklahoma, Georgia & Idaho. If I can come up with anything I will post it.

A real beauty. I tried a little "touch up" to show the finish work on the movement!
