Plain Back, Gold Filled, Case. Making a guess, I would think that J.R. & J.W. Haynes were related. Same geography, last name & possibly a link to the C&O Railroad if J.R. was a Time-Inspector [as many Jeweler/Watchmaker's were]. Perhaps the elevation of J.R.'s relative signaled more work & he ordered some Railway Approved, Watches from Hampden, w/ his Name on the Dial. Or it could have been a single purchase [names on Dials were free but the buyer would have been charged to have the movement stamped / engraved]. |
