Looking for some information/help on this dial... The dial was on a 992 that I recently procured. When looking at the 1951 Hamilton parts catalog there is a dial close, but it has one major difference - "Railway Special" under the Hamilton.

Question:

What movement would this dial belong too?

Also, is this an original or reproduction?

THANKS

Hi Jon, that is a nice original Hamilton Montgomery dial,usually seen on pre-992B RR and street railway grade Hamiltons.The ones marked Railway Special belong on 992B's.It would be correct for a regular 992.Happy Thanksgiving!...Ted.

John, there is a very informative post on this topic under the Hamilton research board.

Dial Link.

Theodore - really appreciate the information!

Perfect - thanks!

Mr. Romero did a most excellent job of collecting and presenting his findings - WoW!

Ted is right, this example of Dial 581 would be correct on a 992, but the script signature marks it as pre-1918. The example in Richard's excellent chart has the later block letter signature.
