"The Dueber Watch Co." [Hampden, Grade 200] Size 6, 7 Jewel, Hunter Case, Model 3, 3/4 Plate, Gilt Movement. Manufactured in 1889. 
Dial is a Single Sunk, Roman Numeral, "Circle" Dial, w/ Thin Spade Hands.
Front of Case Hand Engraved w/ a Bird & Floral Motif. The Engravings are very deep & sharp, showing little wear. 

A Dueber "Champion" Gold Filled Case. The Logo indicates a 20 year Guarantee & 10 to 14 Karats.

Rear of Case also has the Bird & Floral Motif but without the presentation banner [which has the initials L.H. on the Front Case]. 
As I don't really collect these small Hampdens so I've put this one up at Auction on Ebay {starting bid $126.50} & it closes on 6/28 so we'll see what happens then. 
 
Grade 200, Marked "The Dueber Watch Co." [most G200's were marked "Hampden"] Serial No. 572588. Running well & keeping time. Above we have a pic. I took to give an idea to just how bright & shiny this case really is.
