1902 Hampden, New Railway, 23 Jewel, 18 size, Serial No. 1721580.

This one has the "Canton, Ohio" signed Dial that usually appeared only on the late 21 Jewel models. The Hands are the appropriate Spade & Whip, Blued, Railroad Hands. 


Has Damasked Nickel Back Plates, a Steel Escape Wheel, Sapphire Pallet Stones & Sapphire, Jeweled Motor Bearings. I'm currently looking for a supply of 'Beveled Head' polished steel screws to replace the 'Flat Head' screws [a lot of watches I have seen had the original 'Beveled Heads' replaced with 'Flat Heads']. I may have to use a thread gauge & micrometer & go looking for them at Screw Manufacturing Companies, [as a last resort]. 
Here's the Crescent, 20yr., Gold Filled, 3-Hinge Case I propose to use to replace the Dueber Silverine Case it came with. Serial # 1287441. 
It has a Engine Turned Back, with Shield & Floral Decorations. The Bow & Stem are correct for the Era, as is it's slim profile.
