Scroll down the page to see my Ball Hamilton 936 8629

Happy hunting,

Hi guys and gals,
Don at the NAWCC Library and research center provided me with the following information on some of the Hamilton/Ball 936 runs:

6011-6020 run of 10
6101-6110 run of 10
8026-8028 run of 3
8601-8645 run 0f 45

Total of 68

Now assuming that the first run is from 601-615, that would add 15 more for a subtotal of 83.

Please let me know of any additional runs

Thanks,

Bill

Hi guys and gals,

Clarification. There are apparantly 87.

The missing run is 791-794.

The attatched pic is off an unusual marking. It is stamped below the balance bridge. #3291

It is hard to see as it does not have the black fill that the other letters and numbers on the watch have.

Possibly a reg or pat number or date?

I wonder if the lack of coloring means that it was added after initial manufacture?

The case back shows some wear where many fingers have screwed the back off and on.

It is marked WARRANTED HAWORTH 25 years inside a shield and a serial number 994281 below the shield.

I have niebling's book and the various trademark books and I don't find this name, however I note that Mr Wadsworths first two initials are H and A and am assuming this is an early Wadsworth or an offshoot of that company.

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Bill Kapp
