Bill KappBall Hampden list
I have compiled a list of Ball Hampden's.
Note that there are 30 known to date Hampdens marked on movements and dials.
23 are marked Ball's Standard Superior Grade
2 are marked Ball's Standard Cleveland O
2 are marked Ball's Standard (??????????)
2 are marked Ball's Standard Hi Grade
1H is marked Ball's Standard Cleveland O
Interesting to note that the guide values the superior grades over the scarcer BSCO and no one has reported a superior grade hunter yet.
happy hunting,
Please let me know if you have others to add.
