Tom SeymourJohn, I am no Hampden expert, but perhaps the following information from  
Hampden Watch Co., by Hernick and Arnold will help.
It lists the following runs by serial number:
2,801,006 - 2,801,687  (681)
3,273,662 - 3,274,131  (496)
3,278,537 - 3,279,032  (495)
3,303,065 - 3,304,012  (947)
3,322,047 - 3,323,052  (1,005)
3,327,830 - 3,328,220  (390)
3,402,032 - 3,403,298  (1,266)
3,451,467 - 3,452,067  (600)
I think that adds up to 5,880.  
I don't know if all the serial numbers alotted to a given run were actually produced or not.  (What does a clock guy know about these things?  

 )
Hope this helps.
