Hi
Hamilton made several Factory Railroad Cases. I set out years ago to collect the entire set in all the colors available, yellow, white and green gold. I'm interested in knowing which case is your favorite out of the bunch shown in the picture and does the case you choose have any special meaning to you or a story behind it. I will post pics of the ones in my collection as we go along and will share my favorite at the end.

I like most of the Hamilton factory cases.great designs all around.But I am really drawn to the factory Hamilton pattern back cases.The model 2,5,and 7 are what I have encountered.but I think a model 1 and model 8 might have also come in a pattern back.

Keith,
I knew I could count on you to chime in. I agree with you about the pattern backs. They really do add to the look. I have a few and will make sure to post them as we go along. The reason why I said I would say what my favorite is at the end is because right now, I'm not so sure I could firmly say which one it would be. Some of them have a sweet spot to me because of appearance and some because of how difficult they were to find. The #6 in green gold was by far the toughest to get. I got it from Weldon Hopkins collection, a member here at IHC. In fact, it was his post that inspired me to collect the factory cases.

Richard,can’t wait to see some of your cases.I know Weldon as well.he is a great guy.I would have to say that I really like the model 7,5 and 2 cases.preferably in wgf,but a crisp gold filled is awesome as well.The only green Hamilton that I have is a model 5 with a 950 in it. Well actually now that I think about it.the model 4,6 and 8 are awesome as well.lol
