Pretty Little Hampden With Multicolor Case
How cool is this? It's a solid 14K gold ladies hunter with multicolor gold applied decorations and a diamond! Cool

Most of the time these multicolored ladies watches are solid gold decorations on a gold-filled case. The solid gold case makes this one really exceptional. A 15-jewel movement too.

What's not to like?

Robert,

I've got a cousin to yours. It is a 6s Hunter case Hampden private label made for JW Chambers in Chicago. The serial number on mine is 837,023, and the tag that came with it had a date of 1893. See pics below, and let us know when yours is going up for auction.

The case is 14K, but not multicolored. It has a farm scene on the back:
