Here is a 14k Hamilton that is marked Dorsey inside the back cover ..

here is a question (did Hamilton make 2 styles of the Dorsey)I have saw the Dorsey that dates to 1936 and as i remenber they had a curved back..This one has a flat back and a 754 19 jewel movement that was made several years later..

Thanks to Bryan i have found out that this is the later version of the Dorsey ca. 1955

Hi,

Attached is a photo of the Early (1936) Dorsey with a Tiffany dial and Tiffany marked case.

I suspect Will Roseman's site had detailed information about this watch.

Yes they made two versions.

I have owned several examples of each.
