I am new to the chapter and would liketo discuss
a watch. It is a Sangamo Special Marked
Sangamo
23 Jewels
Special
Motor Barrel 60
On the movement
Is anyone familiar with this marking?

Bob

Hi Robert & Welcome.

If you could post the serial number we could tell you more about it. Also we do enjoy seeing photos of watches.

look forward to hearing more.

Tom

Just from what you listed I would guess your serial number would place it some where between 1917 & 1923 model 10.

Tom

Tom,

The Serial Number is 4,556,463.

Bob

I was wrong with my earlier information. From your serial number I show it to be a size 17 Open Face, Lever Set Model 13 Sangamo Special made in 1925 there were approx 11 runs & a total of 9280 made.

We would enjoy seeing the photos & good photos of the dial, if this is a 17 size a 16 size dial will also mount on the movement & over the years this has happened & it lowers the value of the watch. One way to tell is how close the dial edge comes to the case & movement edge.

Also, I am not an expert on these so I could be wrong on some of this.

Tom

Tom and Lindell,

Thank You for your responses to my question.

To get the additional information I will be:

1.Checking the numbering on the back of the case
with the bezel and frame numbering for consistency.

2.Comparing the colors of the case with my 206
two tone colors.

3. Inspecting the fit of the dial to the movement for sizing 16 or 17.

I will post the information from my inspection as soon as I complete it. I also hope to post the photographs early next week.

Thanks again for your hospitally, knowledge and
your suggestions on how to proceed with the identifiction of this strange Sangamo Special

Tom and Lindell,

I inspected the case: Back 14KTwgf 7986234
Bezel 14KTwgf E6234
Frame 14KTggf E6234

I also compared the case to a model 206 two tone.
The frame of the 206 is bright yellow gold and the Sangamo is a lighter pale green.

Tom and Lindell,

I was looking through the rigid bow sangamos and
I found one that looks the same cosmetically
as mine. It is the one Adrea Schiavi (listed as
model 193 but rigid bow).
