Hi I'm having trouble identifying a Hamilton pocket watch serial no 453969

The Hamilton serial number thread on this site shows the serial numbers close to that but jump from 441000 to 463001 ??

That's an open face 17J grade 924.

regards,
bb

Thanks Buster
I'm needing a the balance staff roller for this and wanted to make sure I had the correct model
odd how the serial numbers are missing in the list ?

edit... open face G/F case

here is the dial

Interesting, I had never noticed that gap in Gelson's usually reliable list. Here is a list of the missing serial numbers and grades from the 1953 Hamilton Materials book.

I have noticed that before in the Gelson list. It is still a very nice list. The price Guide has the missing Gelson numbers.

That is a very nice Canadian 24 hour dial. From my research I think the Canadian's could use the 924 as a RRG/RRA dial in Canada. The Canadian's also Had triagular shaped hands with a lot of these 24 hour dials (maybe all I don't know). Over the years I'm sure a lot of those hands were replaced with spade hands as they are a lot more available.

There is one on eBay now that has the Canadian 24 hour hands. The auction will end in one hour.

Thanks Robert for filling in the missing entry and also thanks Harry that's helped give me a bit of information on it.
now just need to get it running

Hello Ken:

Here is some more information on your Hamilton Grade 924 Serial No. 453869 was finished December 6, 1905, and sold April 20, 1906 (my birthday in 1949) to wholesalers A Hirsch & Co. of Chicago.I have attached a Hamilton, private-label dial with the Canadian 24-hour hands that would be correct for your Hamilton Grade 924. I see that Kirkcaldy is close to Edinburgh, my father was born in Nairn, Scotland, in 1908, and came to Canada in 1911. I went for a holiday to the United Kingdom in 1980 spending a weekend London, then traveling for two weeks on a British Rail pass. I stopped over in the Edinburgh for a day, I was very impressed by the castle and all the history, Waverley station was spectacular with its floral clock. I then traveled up through Aberdeen to Elgin, where I spent a few days visiting with some of my father's relatives, and driving over to Inverness in a car I rented, great memories.

Hi Larry
Many thanks for the information on my watch.
Nairn/inverness are is really nice, not unlike Kirkcaldy/Fife where I am. I can see Edinburgh across the water from my house. I've spent many holidays in the Nairn area, Findhorn,Forres and Lossiemouth, nice long sandy beaches and Dolphins in the Moray firth .
I've not yet made it to America or Canada but plan to in the future,once my kids have left University etc Thanks Ken

I'm originally from Hilton of Cadboll on the other side of the Moray Firth from Nairn and Lossiemouth, by Balintore in Easter Ross and was born in Inverness. My friend banjo and guitar player Bill Stewart of London Ontario is from Elgin

Hi Tom a fellow scot
Canada looks nice/similar but an awful big place to get around !!

Regards Ken
