I bought this only because it is from a railway terminal down the way from where I grew up.

Any guesses on the movement it longs for will be appreciated.

Hi Lorne, that's a nice 16s Hampden RR dial, used on model 4 and 5 movements.That's the first private label marked one I have seen.It must be Canadian, but no 24 Hr. markers.That style dial is the most common of Hampden railroad dials, used on all RR grades,even shows up on non-RR grades.I wonder if it came off a P.L.-marked movement? Thanks for showing it!...Ted.

Thank you for the info Ted.

I had a hunch it was Hampden but don't have any 16s so wasn't sure. I will be looking out for a suitable one now.

Seller has no idea of what movement it came from.

Larry has a nice 17j Ball/Waltham in a W.G. Watson loaner case in his private Label thread.

Great Hampden dial... the numbers on these dials always make me think of Dudley Do-Right from the old cartoons I grew up on.
