3 STAR RARE ANTIQUE HAMILTON 965 RAILROAD GRADE HUNTER CASE POCKET WATCHKEEPS TIME. Signature Confirmation will be required for this item. The 16 size case features an attractive art deco design with an uninscribed cartouche on both lids.
The Illinois "Elgin Pride" gold filled case is in very nice condition notwithstanding the presence of the typical fine surface scratches and a very slight crease. The crystal is issue free although the dial, while presentable, has hairlines. The 17 jewel signed Hamilton movement is adjusted to 5 positions including temperature and features gold jewel settings.
Irrespective of spotting, this rare model 4 movement with a total production of 410 pieces currently winds, sets and keeps good time although one hundred percent accuracy is not guaranteed, nor should it be expected. If optimal timekeeping is required a cleaning and adjustment is recommended.
Please review all the pictures as they represent far more accurately the items condition than any verbal description that I can provide. Asking questions will ensure that you receive what you expect. Consequently, I have no details as to their prior history nor can I offer any information other than what has been gleaned from cursory observation. Now for the boring stuff. Please study the photographs closely as they are considered part of the description.
