I was going through some movements to list and came across this one. At first glance I thought it was another movement someone put a hampden dial on. I looked and the dial feet were all there and they were pinned feet. So I dug out the hampden book and found it is in fact an early one. I thought I would share it with you all. First one I remember seeing this early. What do you think

The movement is 2 Star rare New York Watch Co. of Springfield "State Street" with s/n 59006 that falls within the last N.Y.W. of S. serial numbers.

Being dialed as a Hampden, I think this is actually "rarer". Hampden did advertise s/n90,000-96,000 "State Streets" briefly.

These Hunter Movements are actually closer to 17 Siza and need to be fitted to the case. Hope has anough parts to be restored.
