Hamilton Peninsular Special 17j 18s Scarce Electric Railway Pocket Watch

  
18 size 17 jewel hunting case lever-set Grade 927 with dial marked "Peninsular Special, 17 Jewels Adjusted" and with movement marked Special. A rare electric railroad associated dial marking, the Peninsular Railway was incorporated in 1906 and operated between San Jose and San Francisco, California as an electric interurban subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Movement is marked "Special" to its barrel bridge and is attractive with gold-flashed screws and regulator assembly. Dial is double-sunk enamel, and watch is housed in a 25 year gold-filled Crescent Watch Case Co. Hunting case with foliate engraving detail. Running and a nice looking movement overall though with some scattered surface marks to plates and with some gilt loss to regulator spring. Dial is nearly flawless with only a very small edge nick under the case bezel outside the 30 minute position and a small number of minuscule pinpoint surface nicks elsewhere. Case shows medium wear, a ding at the center of the front, a mild dent to the band at 5 O'clock and scattered dings and nicks elsewhere to the band, some slight compression type denting of center rear and center cuvette, and some reduction of engraving detail. Glass crystal has some small bits of glue excess visible at its seat. Please check out my other items this week for more great watches and watch related items for sale. - Check out the NAWCC!
