Thanks Chris. What a valuable tool at everyone fingertips!

There is much to be learned from the 1961 Hamilton Parts Catalog.

Example, critical information you need to know if your model is a Motor Barrel or not.

Thanks both to Chris and Frank for this valuable information.


Frank

Hi everyone, glad this is well received. Took me a while until it was done in a workable file size, so not all that bad. I was happy to do it, hoping it would be a good example for others to make available what they have.

Chris.

Gentlemen.

I thank you.

What a lot of useful information!

Wow!

"So mote it be!"

Nice Hamilton advertisement from 1930.

Another nice Hamilton advertisement from Oct. 1930.

Robert,
Thanks for all the great ads that you post on this site. I just recently picked up a solid example of the Van Buren with the secometer dial off of ebay for my collection.

Thanks Tony, I especially enjoy the "Depression Era" advertisement.

I like this one with the calendar.

Robert

THANKS guys for the Hamilton info. I do have a question about the serial number list. Can this list also be downloaded to a disk? I had no problem with the two books but can't manage to copy the serial number listing.
Thanks again
Pete

Below is a real nice catalog page from 1928 displaying three "Railroad Models", No. 2, 4, and 5.

Hi, I'm wondering what the history is of the Model #4 Stiff Bow cases that are NOT marked Hamilton, but instead marked "Fahys" and "R.R." ? Were these available to jewelers for ANY maker's movements, or were these simply earlier "factory" Hamilton cased watches, prior to the stamping of "Hamilton" inside the back covers? Thanks!

Thanks Lindell! Side by side it is much more obvious, thanks for the photo comparison. While I'm writing, I'll say "Thanks!" to all of you guys for the excellent discussion and information. I've read through a lot of the posts recently (going back several years!) and there is a wealth of information in this one site!! As I've always told folks at the office, "Model-A Ford restorers and Pocketwatch collectors are the best people you'll ever meet!" :-)
