Larry,
What can you tell me about the 922-18 size-Imperial Canada watch?
Tony

That was a VERY NICE watch that I really wanted . If I wasnt in the middle of a real estate purchase I would have went after it. Glad you got it Tony . And I think there is a mention of Imperial in an earlier post here . Mike

Tony,
A nice, uncluttered clean looking movement.

A very nice, Hamilton Grade 922 imperial Canada, the one in my collection has a 12 hour dial. I'm still researching these watches, and have not yet found where they fit into the scheme of things. Here is my Grade 923.

Hamilton Grade 924 private label dial WH Mallet, Brandon, Man.

This pocket watch Tony could be the Rosetta Stone, as the Hamilton Grade 922, and 923 serial numbers are not in the Hamilton Factory records, this private label, Grade 924 is, and was ordered from the Montréal Watch Case Co. who supplied many of the Canadian Hamilton Private labels documented on this thread.

If you are interested your WH Mallett was probably William H. Mallett

born September 1855 in Ontario listed as a jeweler & watchmaker. Married to Jennie

Tom

Thanks Tom, I posted quite a bit of biographical information on him, along with his picture on page 2 of this thread.

Larry

Sorry Larry, I am sure I read it at some point, all these names just start to run together. When I didn't see anything listed with the watch photo I searched using the last name but didn't find the post. I will look harder next time.

Here is a Rockford 18 size with a private label dial marked "E.M. Alum Revelstoke, B.C." Revelstoke is an important Canadian Pacific Railway Divisional point, crews work westward over the Thompson Subdivision to Kamloops, B.C. and eastward over the Rogers Pass on the Mountain Subdivision to Field, British Columbia.
