This is the second watch I purchased at Strongsville. I was looking for a nice Dueber Hampden, and I think this fills the bill. I have to thank Ralph Rehner for his patient mentorship of a clock guy stumbling around in the world of watches. He shepherded me through the mart and instructing and looking, and the results weren't too bad!!!

The dial is, I think, absolutely gorgeous!!

The movement! Notice the serial number!

I thought it was a pretty low number! I believe it puts it at about 1891.

Nice watch Tom!

That is a 17j, model 2, leverset, adjusted, grade 107 and is RRG. Date would be 1891-1901.
The serial is not really that low overall for a Hampden but the serial range for this model is 814,000-1,600,000.

Ken,
Thanks for the info.

I did not mention in the earlier post that the case is a Dueber.

I thought I would put this new post with the other Deuber Hampden. I got this one at Ft. Mitchell. It is a 17j, ser# 3994092, No.108. I think the unique this about this movement is the mark, "Steel Escape Wheel". I also thought the damasceeming pattern was attractive. The dial has a problem between 4 and 5. The case is a Dueber 20 yr.

It would be great to see more Dueber Hampdens added to this thread!

Tom,
