Richard RomeroGary,
Does the dial still glow in the dark?
It doesn't appear there's any radium paint left but it might not be a bad idea to check the dial with a radiation detector.
I'd say the dial could be found on a 950, 952, 992, 996, or possibly a 974.
Below is a picture of the matching hands.

Clark ReedThanks to Richard, I now know the dial is a model 582 SS Luminous and according to the 1920 Hamilton Material Catalog has the highest premium for any dial. There is no radium on this dial - perhaps it was not applied, or maybe worn off - - either way it was on a 992E and I asked both Richard and Gary to help me ID it. My sincere appreciation to both Richard and Gary for the diligent effort.
