Can anyone tell me how many Hamilton pocket watches marked Washington, Lincoln, or Roosevelt were sold to A. Hirsch Co. of Chicago?

Do you mean Illinois ? I have no data on the A. Hirsch Co of Chicago except to say they were a retailer around 1889.

Tony is correct. The "Washington," "Lincoln," and "Roosevelt" were private label movements manufactured by Hamilton for A. Hirsch Co.

To my knowledge, the total production of these private labels is unknown. However, they are not seen very often.

There is a picture of a Hamilton 926 marked Washington-sn 945809 in the 1980 Price Indicator guide on page 27.
