Could the Hamilton be Hamilton, Ontario? Doesn't look like a Hamilton movement to me,looks Swiss.

William,thanks for the reply.The seller mentioned Ontario in his description.It looks Swiss to me.What does Ontario have to do with Hamilton? Roger

I think what William is talking about is there is a Hamilton, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It is about 90 minutes from Toronto, at least according to the web.

There was a John C. Diggins that was a jeweler in that area, he was born April 10, 1878 in Ontario & died April 2, 1932 in Toronto. His body was turned over to a undertaker from Hamilton, Ontario.
