Another Hampden North American Railway. Serial No.1438123, 21 Jewel, 18 size. This one from 1901 w/ "Fish Scale" & "Fan" Damasking. In Dueber Coin "Railway" 3-Hinged Case, Serial #2501633. 
Probably the best looking Damasking of any of the North American Railway's. 


Case has a new Acrylic Crystal. Bow is nice & Tight & it closes up tight.

Minor Scratching on Back of Case. 

Double Sunk, Enamel, "Script" Numeral Dial has 2 light hairlines @ 7 & 11. Nice, Blued, Medium Spade Hour & Whip Minute Hands.

The Dueber Coin Case is Marked "Railway" w/ the Dueber "Anchor & Shield" Logo. These Cases were around .900 to .925 Silver. Dueber also made .975 "Sterling" Cases but I haven't seen many, so I don't think they were very popular [probably a case of "small difference in Silver for the extra price"].
