Inside Back & Dust Cover.

I'm using this Case for the Hampden, 1909, 18 size, 21 Jewel, Special Railway, with the Montgomery Dial. Right Era & enhances this 'Top of the Line' Movement [ON3L-5P, DR].  

This is the Case I'm using for the 1908 Hampden, 18s, 21J, Special Railway, Hunter Model 4, HT4L-5P, DR. 

Philadelphia Watch Case Co. 

Gold Filled, Guaranteed 20yr., Hunter Case. 

Serial #6468128.

This Case is quite similar to the Star W.C.Co., brassed Case, that came with it.

This is my Montgomery "Numerical" Dial. It is appropriate as a "Factory Supplied Dial" for only the 1908, Model 4, Railway Grade, Hunter Movements [& I never though I'd find a Movement to put it on], though you can find them on earlier RR Grade's as an 'After Market" addition.

1908 Hampden 21 Jewel, Special Railway, Model 4, Two-Tone, Adjusted to 5 Positions, Double Roller, Hunter Case Pocket Watch. Serial No. 2586278. 

Only 100 made in this last Run of the Model 4, Special Railway's.

Double-Sunk, Arabic Dial, w/Medium Spade Hour & Minute Hands.

Star 20 yr. Gold Filled Hunter Case. Serial #2026175.

The Case is badly brassed & needs to be replaced. The Movement needs a NOS Hampden #1722 Balance Staff [all of which I have on hand]. The Dial & Hands are Good but I have a near mint Hampden, Montgomery Dial & Newly Blued, Medium Spade Hands that I'll be replacing these with [I think 1908 was the first year Hampden offered the Montgomery "Numeric" Dials, free on the Railroad Grade Movements]. Only 565 Total of this type of the 21 Jewel, Special Railway were made. Only the 23 Jewel Movements of this type are rarer w/ a Total of only 250.

A Brass, Advertising Novelty from "The Dueber Watch Case Co." 

This is a "Match Safe". It's long enough to hold the big "Barn-Burner" type of stick matches.  

The Hinge & Spring still work fine but it could use a polish.

I've seen these 'Advertising Novelties' { Fobs & Tie Stick-Pins } before but they've all been marked "Dueber - Hampden, Watch Co." or just "Hampden Watch Co.". Perhaps this one was made before "The Dueber Watch Case Co." moved to Canton, Ohio & became The Dueber - Hampden Watch Co. 

Possibly Unique 1910 18 Size, Hampden Electric Railway Serial No. 2640034 [not part of my collection, mores the pity] 17 Jewel, Model 3,  ON3P-A. [Check up-date; Thurs. 12/22/2016. This is now a part of my collection].

Single Sunk, Arabic Dial, with Spade "Railway" Hands.

Movement is like the 17 Jewel Dueber Grand but is signed "Electric Railway". Otherwise a standard Open Face, Model 3, Pendulum Set, Adjusted, 17 Jewel, Hampden it's the only example I have ever come across. 

The Dueber-Hampden Watch Co. did make a 16 size "Electric Railway Standard" [previously documented here] but this 18 size Model is not listed anywhere & seems to be a "one-off" trial model. The 16 size Electric Railway Standard watches are quite rare so they must not have found much of a market & were discontinued around this time, which most like figured in the reason the 18 size Electric Railway was never put into production.
