wealthy customers. From the well-known Hamilton collection of Robert Bennett of Olivehurst,

California. Mvt: Running, virtually mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, nearly pristine surfaces

wear, rear with some shallow ripples to its reflection over much of its surface possibly evidencing the

polished removal of engraved initials, no dents or dings, we believe case serial numbers correctly

match as case rear has s#P164739 and case band has two unambiguous handscratched Roman

numerals of VII and III for the digits of 7 and 3 and has a third handscratched Roman digit of an "I"

alongside an upside down "V" shape which we believe represents the 9, no serial number markings

evident inside case bezel; tight bow, crown shows very little wear; clean plastic crystal. Box exterior

seal is present with some abrasions, blue inserts are present and seemingly glued or otherwise

secured within box, upper lid liner is present; watch slides quite tightly in and out of box likely due to

its relatively thick plastic crystal.

Cataloger’s picks for watches valued below $1000:

American pocket watch expert, Fred Hansen, chose Lot 371 Illinois "The Miners' Watch"

“Rarely does one see a watch that evokes a vision of Western America as distinctive as "The Miners' Watch" offered by a
Virginia City, Nevada retailer. Prior to 1858, Nevada was a sparsely populated territory but this was to change with the
discovery of the Comstock Lode. The resulting silver rush to Virginia City peaked in the mid-1870s, which matches with

when this watch was produced.”

Wristwatch specialist, Tyler St. Gelais, chose Lot 273, Domino pilot's watch

“I chose this watch because it gives tremendous value for money, in a large stainless-steel case with a knurled rotatable
bezel and black dial with radium numerals. This watch exudes a hard utility type esthetic which has become well sought

after in today’s collecting market.”

that represents Waltham's first production derived from their acquisition of the Nashua Watch

Company in 1862. These first run 20 size movements were comprised directly of Nashua Watch Co.

produced components and these movements retain their Nashua Watch Co. assembly numbering

internally and were engraved on their back plate with "American Watch Co" signature and serial

numbers starting with 50,001. Disassembly of this example reveals typical Nashua Watch Co.

construction and consistent Nashua Watch Co. numbering in multiple areas, and notes from our

disassembly are included in the condition report below. Mvt: Running, excellent cosmetic mvt

220 condition overall, very short scratch near center, some typical mild fine to micro-fine scratches $3,000 -
elsewhere, some oxide and micro-fine scratch striations to steelwork of barrel arbor escutcheon and $5,600

the top plate, to the pillar plate, to the underside of the balance cock, the corresponding serial number

63 is marked to the underside of the pallet bridge, no serial number is evident to the underside of the

balance wheel spar (arm) or to the hour or minute wheels, the pillar plate of this example has the

distinctive Nashua Watch Co. features of an auxiliary plate for ease of train disassembly, and the

pillar plate also has "1.87" and ".30" marking at its perimeter as is typical to Nashua production,

movement's stopwork, maintaining power, and barrel lock are complete; dial with three small hls at

bottom below seconds-register; excellent hands; case shows light wear, mild ding to front above

center, engine turning and engraving detail with mild overall reduction and small portion of loss at

rear shoulder; tight bow, push shows light wear; good glass crystal.

Waltham, Crescent St, Model 1883, 15J, 18S, heavy 14K multicolor gold HC recase with beautiful

engraving detail, diamond inset to rear, multicolor floral detail to front and rear, gold front shield with

initials, scalloped band, gold cuvette with 1891 presentation engraving, white enamel DS dial, fancy

gilt Louis XV style hands, SW-LS, balance wheel appears likely to be non-magnetic alloy though

hairspring is typical blue colored, nickel damascene, s#4258236. Gross weight of assembled watch

221 99.8 dwt (155.3 g). A very beautiful case with attractive multicolor detail and a substantial in hand $3,000 -

gold cuvette with "BWCF" marking to its inner surface, "Appleton Tracy & Co Waltham" marked

white enamel SS dial, KWKS, gold balance wheel, gilt mvt, s#5810. Gross weight of assembled watch

79.1 dwt (123.1 g). A very early example from the initial year of the Appleton Tracy & Co.'s

existence, this movement is from a production run listed in Waltham records as having been made in

December of 1857. This movement has the notable early production features of a total jewel count of

16 (with center wheel arbor jeweled under the dial) and a blued steel disk around its barrel arbor.

222 These features were characteristic of the earliest production of Appleton Tracy & Co. grade $2,600 -
movements, but were short-lived as this grade's production was soon after changed to 15 jewel $3,400

movements with gilt cups around their barrel arbors. It appears that casemaker Wheeler, Parsons &

Co. may have been incorporated in 1867 which would date the case of this example to some years after

its movement's production. Mvt: Running, excellent-plus mint cosmetic mvt condition overall,

excellent gilt tone, some mild fingerprint type etching at small portions of plate perimeter, few micro-

fine scratches; dial with hl below seconds-register at 6:30, two very faint hls above seconds-register,

comes with an associated factory card listing attributes, though card is marked "Maximus, W.I."

223 possibly identifying it as being for the winding indicator version of this grade rather than the present $2,400 -
watch. Gross weight of assembled watch 69.7 dwt (108.4 g). A stunningly beautiful example in $3,400
exquisite gold case, this lever-set version of the Riverside Maximus is far less common than the

pendant-set version of this grade. Mvt: Running, virtually mint cosmetic mvt condition overall,

bright lustrous surfaces, very few minimal micro-fine scratches, two minuscule specks of oxide at

perimeter of larger winding wheel, some losses of black color loss to areas of lettering; virtually

seconds-register and center; excellent hands; case shows very little wear, small shallow dent to rear

shield evident as ripple of reflected light, shallow ding to band at 1, excellent engine turning and

engraving detail, front and rear open somewhat short of 90 degrees (to approximately 80 degrees);

gilt Louis XV style hands, SW-LS, gilt mvt screws and regulator assembly, ornate nickel damascene,

s#7712557. Gross weight of assembled watch 97.7 dwt (152.0 g). The very attractive fancy dial of this

Appleton Tracy & Co. production which spanned serial numbers 50101 to 50200 and was made during

the locking jewel. Mvt: Running, has excess escapement noise when oriented in the pendant-up or

the dial-down positions, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, bright lustrous gilt plates with some

fine scratches; dial with some hls; excellent hands; case shows little wear, some dings to perimeter of

with shagreen pique to outer, inner pierced for sound transmission and ornately engraved with foliate

detail around perimeter and grotesque mask at 6, outer with casemaker's incuse marking with first

letter somewhat ambiguous but marking may be "P G" which suggests possibly Peter Goujon as

239 casemaker, inner with no hallmarks or casemaker's marking evident within when bell is removed, $2,000 -
white enamel dial, slide under dial at 5:30 for dumb repeat function, cylinder escapement, diamond $4,000

endstone, gilt mvt with pierced and engraved foliate scrolled balance cock, signed gilt locking dust-

cap, s#2948 with matching serial number to dust-cap. We believe this piece to be of 1740s vintage per

the approximation of serial number to dating given in Brian Loomes' "Watchmakers and Clockmakers

of the World." Mvt: NR, fusee usually releasing backward immediately when winding is attempted

though occasionally will stop and hold a partial wind and is ticking with good escapement action
when this occurs, good repeat function and tone aside from the progression to and through the quarter

Knibb was born in 1640, made Free of the Clockmakers' Company in 1671, and worked in London

until leaving in 1697 per Brian Loomes "Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World." Joseph Knibb

was primarily a clockmaker, and we believe watches by Knibb are notably rare. From the collection of

American Pocket Watches Part 3 of 3

"American Calendar Watch Co, Pat. Feb. 13. 1866." marked dial, "W. Parker, New York" marked mvt,

calendar watch, 15J, 18S, coin silver Am Watch Co HC recase, white enamel DS dial with aperture

below 12 for calendar display via a rotating silvered disk under dial, KWKS, electrum gilt mvt, s#141.

This early calendar watch is based on the design of Edward Oppenheimer that was granted U.S. patent

number 52591. Though the plate layout of this movement bears overall similarity to Waltham's Model

1857 design; there are numerous notable differences between the present piece and Waltham's Model

1857 production including its substantially different gilt finish appearance which is of the Swiss style

electrum color, differences to the exact shape and size of its barrel bridge and balance cock, the

spacing between its case screw position and the adjacent plate screw position, the number and position

of dial feet locations and the associated machining of its dial plate, the location of its hairspring stud,

and the appearance of plate jeweling. For this reason we do not make any claim that the present watch

has any degree of American-made material or finishing, and note that the reason we have listed this

339 watch among the American portion of this sale is due to its signature and the historical interest of its $500 -
U.S. patented calendar design. Based on the paucity of known examples, this "American Calendar $1,000
Watch Co." watch appears to be quite rare and we are only aware of a small handful of others known,

each of these having a serial number in relatively close proximity to the present example. For images

and discussion of several other known examples we recommend the April 2009 NAWCC Bulletin

article "Ten in Twenty Million?" by Joe "J.C." Cohen as well as another individual's 2015 NAWCC

Message Board posting of photos of serial number 164 that include under-dial views. Mvt: NR, fully

wound, balance is gummy but will swing for a few brief arcs with a twist, calendar advancing when

hands are set forward, overhaul needed, fine cosmetic mvt condition overall, some scattered fine to

micro-fine scratches and some mild surface spots, mild ultra-fine scratch striations likely from a past

light wiping; dial is loose to mvt as one of its two dial feet is broken off and currently is remaining

within mvt, dial with crudely patched chip at 2, scattered hls; fine hands; case is missing its push to

release the front latch so front must be snapped open and closed, case shows ample wear, mild dent to

lower left perimeter of rear, greatly reduced engraving detail; bow pivots freely, push is missing; good

glass crystal.

Baldwin & Jones, Boston, verge fusee of English manufacture with seconds-register and hacking

340 function, 56mm, silver OF original pair cases bearing Birmingham hallmarks for 1818, incuse "V & $600 -
Co" marking for casemaker Vale & Company, outer containing paper for Jubal Howe "Watch Maker $1,200
at Jones, Lows & Ball of 123 Washington St., Boston," white enamel dial, hacking slide below dial at

4, KWKS, verge escapement, diamond endstone, gilt mvt with ornately engraved balance cock, gilt

locking dust-cap, s#734. An attractive piece with early American contract marking, though this watch
is of English manufacture we have listed it here among American timepieces due to the interest of its
signature. The case paper of this example is of particular historical significance to early American
horology, as Jubal Howe was an apprentice of Luther Goddard that went on to head the watch repair
department of Jones, Lows & Ball during which time a young Aaron L. Dennison was employed for
repair service and worked under Howe's tutelage. Mvt: Running, good hacking function, excellent-
plus cosmetic mvt condition overall, excellent gilt tone, some typical micro-fine scratches; dial with
some hls, very small associated surface flake left of 2, some edge wear under bezel between 12 and
1:30; excellent hour and seconds-hand, minute hand is a brass replacement with mild bend; outer case
shows light wear, dent to lower left perimeter of rear, dent to bezel at 8, dings to bezel at 6, few lesser
dings and nicks elsewhere, hinge missing one end-cap, button latch good; inner case shows light wear,
some scattered dings and nicks with the most notable being a protruding ding to upper rear; bow
pivots freely; glass bull's-eye crystal with some scattered scratches.

Ball Hamilton, Official B of LE Standard (Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers), 17J, Grade 999B,

18S, gold-filled OF case, white enamel SS dial with B of LE logo, pierced Ball style hour and minute

hands, SW-LS, sunburst pattern nickel damascene, s#118382. This example notably has a damascene

pattern which is substantially rare among 17 jewel Ball Hamilton production. While this sunburst

damascene pattern is the norm for 21 jewel and 23 jewel 18 size Ball Hamilton movements, we have

only seen a very small handful of Ball Hamilton 17 jewel examples with the sunburst damascene and

all have been within a run of 50 serial numbers between 118351 and 118400. Of these, this is the first

341 example with Brotherhood marking we have encountered as the couple others we've seen have had $1,200 -
"Official RR Standard" marking instead. Mvt: NR, mainspring and balance staff seem likely broken, $2,200

overhaul needed, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, bright lustrous surfaces, scattered small

fine to micro-fine scratches, some bits of oxide to regulator; nearly flawless dial with few small fine to

micro-fine scratches; fine hands, hour was presumably originally plum colored but is now with full

finish loss, minute is plum colored, seconds-hand is a blue colored replacement; case shows little

wear, some abrasions to band at 1:30 and also to adjacent perimeter of rear, no dents or dings, engine

turning detail with mild reduction at shoulder; bow pivots freely, crown shows light wear; good glass

crystal.

Official RR Standard stirrup bow case with pattern engraving to rear, white enamel SS dial, SW-LS,

mono-metallic balance with blued Elinvar hairspring, fully capped lever escapement, jeweled barrel

arbor, bull's-eye pattern nickel damascene, s#B649795. The 998 Elinvar had a total production of 2700

342 made and was produced between 1939 and 1942. From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: $1,000 -
Running, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, plates with typical scattered fine to micro-fine $1,400
scratches, some marring to the escape wheel jewel setting, mild oxide to regulator assembly and some

small oxide spots to winding wheels; virtually flawless dial with very small scuff at edge under bezel at

9:30; fine hands with oxide; case shows very light wear, no dents or dings, reduced engraving detail;

tight bow with areas of wear to brass, crown shows light wear; plastic crystal with some fine scratches

and glue visible around its seat.

Ball Hamilton, "Ball's Standard, Railroad Watch Co, Cleveland O" marked mvt and dial, Grade 999E,

17J, 18S, gold-filled OF recase with initial to rear shield, white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, bull's-eye and

rosette pattern nickel damascene, s#20663. A rare early Ball Hamilton variant, the 17 jewel "Railroad

Watch Co." was made in only a single run of 300 watches spanning serial numbers 20501 to 20800.

343 From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: Ticking sluggishly, excess escapement noise in some $600 -
positions, overhaul recommended, bright lustrous surfaces, scattered fine to micro-fine scratches; dial $1,000
with faint hl in center section above seconds-register, faint outer chapter hls at 6:30 and 7:30, dial

near 9; excellent hands; case shows medium wear, few dings to band and rear, reduced engraving

detail; bow pivots freely, crown shows medium wear; glass crystal with small edge chip at left, edge

flake at lower right.

Ball Hamilton, Official RR Standard with scarce "Single Roller" marking, Grade 999E, 17J, 18S, gold-

344 filled OF recase, white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, circular pattern nickel damascene, s#90671. "Single $300 -
Roller" marked Ball Hamilton movements are quite scarce and were made in only a few short runs $550
among the relatively early end of Ball Hamilton production. A significant portion of this Ball

Hamilton "Single Roller" production was paired with an attractive double-sunk dial, as seen on the

present example. From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: Running, excellent cosmetic mvt
condition overall, bright lustrous surfaces, scattered mild fine to micro-fine scratches, mismatched
case screws; excellent dial with faint outer chapter hl at 8, some fine to micro-fine scratches to
seconds-register and outer chapter; excellent hands; case shows medium to ample wear, ding to center
rear, some scattered nicks, large portion of wear to brass to lower area of band, sizable areas of wear
to brass to pendant, slivers of wear to brass following band seams; tight brassy bow, replacement

Ball Hampden, "Ball's Standard Superior Grade" marked mvt, 17J, 18S, silver OF recase with nickel

cuvette, "Webb C. Ball, Cleveland O" marked white enamel SS dial, SW-LS, s#759621. A scarce

watch; Ball Hampden movements were made with signatures including "Ball's Standard Superior

Grade," "Ball's Standard High Grade," and simply "Ball's Standard." Mvt: Ticking somewhat

sluggishly, overhaul recommended, partial disassembly reveals a small piece of tissue inserted under

the balance cock presumably to adjust for imperfect balance end shake, correctly corresponding serial

345 numbers of 59621 to underside of balance cock and 621 to underside of balance wheel spar (arm), no $800 -

serial number to underside of barrel bridge which is correct and typical to examples of this Ball $1,400

Hampden marking we have observed, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, some scattered fine to

micro-fine scratches and small surface spots, a number of screw heads with gilt loss; dial with

numerous scattered hls, some mild fine scratches, small fractures tight along perimeter at 8:30; case

shows little wear, a moderate patina, some scratches to cuvette from past slipped openings, small but

deep ding to band at 10, no dents; tight bow, crown shows little wear; glass crystal with edge chips at

7 and lesser edge flakes at 12.

Columbus, Railway King, 23J, 18S, gold-filled OF swingout recase with attractive engine turning and

engraving detail to rear, white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement, jeweled barrel

arbor, nickel damascene, s#503222. An attractive example of this rare watch, the total production of 23

jewel open face Columbus movements is believed to be 360 made per Greg Frauenhoff and John

Dimar's excellent article in the June 2003 NAWCC Bulletin. Of this total, it appears the much larger

majority were signed "Columbus King" rather than being signed "Columbus Railway King" as the

346 present example, as of the twenty-five examples noted by serial number in the article there are twenty- $600 -
three "Columbus King" as compared to only two "Columbus Railway King." Mvt: Running, winds $1,000

somewhat stiffly, nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, bright lustrous surfaces with few micro-

fine scratches; dial with light outer chapter hl at 2:20, tiny surface nick to inner rim of outer chapter

at 10:30, few minuscule pinpoint surface nicks elsewhere; excellent hour and seconds-hand, fine

minute hand with ample finish loss and some oxide to tip; case shows very light wear, no dents or

dings, engraving detail with mild reduction, spots of wear to brass to pendant; tight bow, crown shows

medium wear; good thick glass crystal.

Cornell Watch Co, San Francisco, 11-15J, 18S, 4oz coin silver Am Watch Co HC recase with gold

hinges, white enamel SS dial, KWKS, gilt mvt, s#24624. An attractive example from this scarce and

short-lived maker, the Cornell Watch Co. of San Francisco was only in operation between 1874 and

1876. Mvt: Running after a twist to start, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, excellent gilt

tone, plates with some scattered small spots; excellent dial with some scattered small light brown spots

347 of discoloration, some small edge flakes under bezel at lower right and upper left; excellent hands, $400 -
hour and minute with some small bits of oxide and finish loss; case with weak front lift spring which $800

needs help through its initial opening motion before proceeding to open lid the remainder under its

own power, case shows very light wear, small shallow crease type dent to front adjacent lower left

edge of engraving detail, mild dent to band at 7:30, prominent crease type dent to lower right of rear,

shallow dent to central left of rear, good engraving detail; tight bow, push shows medium wear; good

glass crystal.

Cornell Watch Co, Chicago, C.T. Bowen, 11-15J, 18S, 3oz coin silver drum style original OF case,

white enamel SS dial, KWKS, gilt mvt, s#22657. The Cornell Watch Company of Chicago was in

enamel DS canister-style (friction fit snap-on) dial, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement, raised gold $1,600
jewel settings, nickel damascene, s#607038. A scarce top grade movement, we believe total production
of Elgin's Grade 72 was approximately 450 made as all examples we have observed have fallen neatly
within only the 607001 to 607450 portion of the larger serial number block (607001 to 608000) that
was reserved for this grade. Mvt: Ticking somewhat sluggishly, balance wheel with no serial number
scribed to the underside of its spars (arms), overhaul recommended, excellent cosmetic mvt condition
overall, plates with some typical mild micro-fine scratches, steelwork with some bits of oxide, one case
screw is mismatched; nearly flawless dial with small fine scratches at edge outside 10 and 1, subtle
faintly visible shadow in glaze of seconds-register in shape of Shriners symbol which was presumably
once overpainted on dial surface but is now gone leaving only a light trace visible only at certain
lighting angles; excellent hands.

OF format, white glass enamel DS canister-style (friction fit snap-on) dial, SW-LS, fully capped lever

escapement, raised gold jewel settings, nickel damascene, s#942145. A rare top grade movement, we

believe total production of Elgin's Grade 91 was approximately 350 made as all examples we have

350 observed have fallen neatly within only the 942001 to 942350 portion of the larger serial number block $1,000 -
(942001 to 943000) that was reserved for this grade. Mvt: Running, fine cosmetic mvt condition $1,600

overall, scattered fine scratches, steelwork with mild oxide, concave polished steel wheel above barrel

with circular marks indicative of polishing for oxide removal, case screws are replacements with

smaller head size diameter; dial with hls in center section, outer chapter hl at 5, some perimeter wear

which is most notable at upper and lower portions; excellent hands.

DS dial with Canadian market 13 to 24 hour indications, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement,

jeweled barrel arbor, striped pattern nickel damascene, s#34682553. An excellent example of this high

grade railroad watch with a very attractive combination of 24 hour dial and rose colored case with

enamel inlay, the total production of the Grade 494 was 5000 made with all examples having winding

351 indicator feature. Mvt: Running, excellent-plus cosmetic mvt condition overall, bright lustrous $500 -
surfaces, some typical fine to micro-fine scratches, areas of lettering with losses of black color; nearly $900
flawless dial with a scratch to upper right portion of winding indicator register, few typical mild

Raymond Model recase with rigid bow, white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement,

striped pattern nickel damascene, s#33815000. This example is from the first production run of Grade

506, and is in fact the last serial number made from this initial run which was relatively small being of

352 only 100 watches. Mvt: Running, good winding indicator function, excellent-plus cosmetic mvt $400 -

1933. This serial number is listed in the Hamilton ledger as having been sold July 3rd, 1909 to A.C.

354 Feldenheimer of Portland, Oregon. Watch comes with a charming leather and chrome-plated base $400 -
metal holster and gun fob, and leather portion is marked "Stanton 1913" and "Electric R.R.." From the $800

beautiful engine turning and engraving detail, Ferguson white enamel DS impressed dial, red Ferguson

hour hand, SW-LS, nickel damascene, s#236302. The original Ferguson dial of this watch is rare in 18

size Hamilton version and is in the typical Swiss made style. This example also has the notable feature

of a seldom seen original red Ferguson hour hand still present. The "Official Standard" movement

marking is scarce to rare and Grade 936 movements with this marking were made for the Smith

356 Patterson Company of Boston, Massachusetts. This particular serial number is listed in the Hamilton $800 -
factory ledger as having been sold to Smith Patterson on November 26th, 1904. From the well-known $1,500

Hamilton collection of Robert Bennett of Olivehurst, California. Mvt: Running after some prodding

engraving detail, white enamel DS dial with marginal minute numerals, SW-LS, fully capped lever

escapement, nickel damascene, s#432106. Comes with an attached leather strap with "Hamilton

Standard" marked brass and red enameled fob. An attractive watch with combination of rare

357 movement marking and very rare dial marking. The "Inspector's Standard" marked movements were $600 -
made for the Smith Patterson Co. of Boston, Massachusetts in Grade 940, Grade 992, and Grade 993 $1,000
versions. The dial of this example represents an early version of Henry S. Montgomery's marginal

minute design, and notably this example (along with the very few identically marked others we've

encountered) does not include a "6" hour numeral within its seconds-register so it differs in this respect

from the marginal minute design that Montgomery ultimately established into mass production. From

the well-known Hamilton collection of Robert Bennett of Olivehurst, California. Mvt: Ticking but

with very sluggish balance motion of low amplitude when in dial-up position, winds stiffly, overhaul

recommended, fine-plus cosmetic mvt condition overall, scratch to right side of barrel bridge,

excellent engine turning and engraving detail, inner surface of rear is largely through to brass and has
a spotted finish that was likely imparted at a later point in the case's existence; tight bow, crown shows
little wear; good glass crystal. Fob and strap appear to be likely of relatively modern era creation,
both in excellent cosmetic condition.

Hamilton, Grade 941 with scarce two-tone damascene, 21J, 18S, gold-filled original HC with beautiful

engine turning and floral engraving detail, small house scene at lower rear, white enamel DS dial,

fleur-de-lis hour and minute hands, SW-LS, two-tone gilt and nickel damascene, s#205595. A

beautiful watch throughout, this example is particularly notable for the exceptional preservation of its

movement's two-tone color which exhibits a deep rich gold color with fiery bright luster. This serial

number is listed in the Hamilton ledger as having been sold to the Non-Retailing Co. of Lancaster, PA

358 on July 25th, 1903 and is from a group of 40 consecutive serial numbers (205561 to 205600) that this $600 -
firm purchased between July and September of 1903. From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: $1,000

Running, nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, exceptional two-tone color and luster, few small

movement (940, 941, 942 and 943) as well as two grades of 17 jewel movement (926 and 927). The

Grade 942 and Grade 943 versions are the finest quality of these grades and are the only version of the

359 "Paragon Time-Keeper" to feature gilt screws and regulator assembly. From the well-known Hamilton $700 -
collection of Robert Bennett of Olivehurst, California. Mvt: Running after a twist to start, setting $1,400

assembly, two-tone checkerboard pattern gilt and nickel damascene, s#2559297. A scarce and

desirable railroad watch, this variant with "992 Special" marked movement and "8 Adjustments"

360 marking above the dial seconds-register represents Hamilton's final version of the Grade 992 $700 -
"Adjusted For Railroad Service" marked watch. Like nearly all known examples, this movement has a $1,300
secondary number (37022 in this instance) scratched in small size on the plate surface adjacent to the

factory serial number. From the well-known Hamilton collection of Robert Bennett of Olivehurst,

California. Mvt: Running, nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, good two-tone color, few mild

micro-fine scratches, few very small surface spots; dial with extremely small bits of white fill material

to the seating of its center section evident upon very close inspection indicating re-securing of dial

components and suggesting possibility of dial's outer chapter and/or seconds-register having been

replacements taken from another Hamilton dial as a "donor," dial with very faint hl below seconds-
register at 6, extremely faint outer chapter hl at 10, some perimeter rub in areas under bezel; excellent

very unusual melamine dial with script "Railroad Timekeeper" signature is the first of its type we have

seen, and a tag from our late consignor also indicates that it is the only example that he had seen. From

362 the well-known Hamilton collection of Robert Bennett of Olivehurst, California. Mvt: Ticking $600 -
sluggishly, overhaul recommended, bright lustrous surfaces, small patch of abrasion toward inner $1,200

perimeter of barrel bridge near mid-point of adjustment markings; nearly flawless dial with some mild

edge rub under bezel, ultra-fine surface splits tracing the perimeter recesses of dial sinks; excellent

hands, red time-zone hand with some bits of paint loss near its base; case shows light wear, few

shallow dings to rear causing small areas of rippling to reflection, some nicks to band, good

engraving detail; bow pivots freely, crown shows light wear; clean plastic crystal. Box shows very

light exterior wear, foil Hamilton seal is present, blue inserts are present, upper lid liner is present.

Hamilton, Grade 993 with rare two-tone damascene, 21J, 16S, gold-filled original HC with attractive

engine turning and engraving detail, fancy white and blue enamel SS dial with gold foil numerals

against blue backgrounds, blue color at center, gold foil decorations in two shades, SW-LS, fully

capped lever escapement, two-tone gilt and nickel damascene, s#367535. A very attractive watch with

a rare two-tone movement finish, this serial number is listed in the Hamilton ledger as having been

sold to the Non-Retailing Co. of Lancaster, PA on January 9th, 1907, and this watch is from a group of

363 40 consecutive serial numbers (367521 to 367560) which the Non-Retailing Co. purchased between $700 -
December 1906 and March 1907. From the well-known Hamilton collection of Robert Bennett of $1,300

Olivehurst, California. Mvt: Running, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, good two-tone color,

few small surface spots to barrel bridge in space between serial number and larger winding wheel,

oxide to regulator spring; nearly flawless dial with two minuscule flakes to rim of center hole, some

Hampden, "Boston Watch Co" marked mvt and dial, mvt with very unusual regulator, 15J, 18S, HC

364 model mvt cased in sidewinder orientation in nickel OF display recase, white enamel SS dial, finished $300 -
by Hampden as KWKS but mvt now with an Abbott's patent SW-shift-locking-LS attachment, nickel $600

damascene, s#69384. A very interesting piece for the early Hampden collector, this movement features

an eye-catching regulator design that appears to be based on Frank C. Goold's regulator patent of
October 17th, 1882 (U.S. Patent 266256). This is only the third example of this regulator style we have
encountered, and notably all three examples we have seen have been with "Boston Watch Co." signed
Hampden watches. The other two examples we had seen had been on somewhat lower grade
movements, while the present example is notable for being a top quality early grade (presumably a
"Railway" grade movement, based on serial number and features) with gold jewel settings, gold
balance screws, mirror finish steelwork, and very attractive nickel damascene. Mvt: Running, good
setting function though setting lever shifts stiffly in and out of engagement, excellent-plus cosmetic mvt
condition overall, bright lustrous surfaces with few small spots and mild fine to micro-fine scratches,
patch of oxide to click, some pinpoint specks of oxide to steel disk around winding arbor escutcheon,
case screw is a replacement which is very well matched other than a bit smaller head diameter than
the original; excellent dial with fine scratch right of seconds-register at 4:30, few small edge flakes
and other small edge flaws under bezel; fine hands, minute with finish loss; case front opens a bit wide
of 90 degrees (approximately 105 degrees), case shows very little wear, dent to front adjacent hinge,
dings to front adjacent crystal at 8 and 10:30, pinpoint nick to rear adjacent hinge; tight bow, crown
shows very little wear; clean plastic crystals.

Howard Keystone, 17J, 12S, 14K gold original Howard clamshell style swingout case, "J E J" initials

U.S.N. Canal Zone May 1924," white enamel SS dial, SW-SS, nickel-plated train wheels, nickel

damascene, s#1324966. Comes with an associated Howard wooden box with tattered remains of

certificate for a different watch. Gross weight of assembled watch 37.1 dwt (57.7 g). Mvt: Running,

365 virtually mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, essentially pristine surfaces with some mild surface $400 -
dirtiness; virtually flawless dial with minuscule fine scratch at edge near 1; nearly mint hands; case $550

shows hardly any wear, some small scratches to edge adjacent opening lip of bezel, no dents or dings,

excellent engraving detail; tight bow, crown shows hardly any wear; plastic crystal with glue excess at

its seat is lifting up slightly from bezel at lower right, watch would benefit from its replacement by a

properly sized glass crystal. Box in fine cosmetic condition with some dings, scrapes and scratches to

exterior; certificate with serial numbers for a differing watch is torn and incomplete.

fully capped lever escapement, jeweled barrel, two-tone gilt and nickel damascene, gilt mvt screws and

regulator assembly, s#2336457. A rare top grade private label, the total production of the 23 jewel 18

size Inter State Chronometer is believed to be only 250 made with all made in a single run spanning

serial numbers 2336351 to 2336600. This example is notable for the exceptional preservation of its

movement's two-tone color. From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: Running though with

366 excess escapement noise in some positions, overhaul recommended, nearly mint cosmetic mvt $800 -

condition overall, superb two-tone color and luster, small dark spot to foot of balance cock; dial with $1,400

patch of mild abrasion left of center, some fine scratches at perimeter near 5, few small fine to micro-

fine scratches elsewhere, minuscule pinpoint flake to inner corner of outer chapter adjacent seconds-

register at 7; fine hands, hour with slight bend, seconds-hand is very slightly long; case shows light

wear, ample tarnish throughout with some dark brown spots at upper left perimeter; bow pivots freely

excess at its seat.

Illinois, Washington Watch Co, Lafayette, 23J, 16S, gold-filled original HC with "W" marking for

Montgomery Ward & Co, very attractive engine turning and engraving detail, white enamel DS dial,

SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement, capped third wheel, one-finger bridge Getty Model mvt, nickel

damascene, s#2202984. An excellent example of this rare high grade private label; based on a close

study of Washington Watch Co. production runs, we believe the total production of this 23 jewel

Model 4 "Lafayette" to be approximately 195 made. Mvt: Running, nearly mint cosmetic mvt

367 condition overall, small bit of oxide at perimeter of winding wheel; dial with faint outer chapter hl at $800 -
10:30 that splits into a fork at its inner base and that along one branch has a minuscule pinpoint sized $1,300

flake to the inner rim of the outer chapter, very small scratch below center; excellent hands, minute

with a small bit of oxide near its tip; case front with wear to its inner lip at latch area, case front does

typically remain closed when shut with a secure squeeze but on infrequent occasion has opened

Montgomery white enamel DS Gothic numeral dial, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement, jeweled

barrel, bright spotted pattern nickel damascene, s#2572686. The bright spotted pattern was the first

damascene used among 16 size Bunn Special production. This damascene is rare among 23 jewel 16

size Bunn Specials with a total of 510 produced in three different variants; the present example with

"D'Bl Roller" movement marking represents the earliest of these three variants and has an estimated

368 total production of 200 made. From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: Ticking somewhat $700 -
sluggishly, overhaul recommended, nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, bright lustrous $1,100

surfaces, balance cock with some micro-fine scratches at perimeter, plates with few micro-fine

scratches elsewhere, minuscule speck of oxide to perimeter of larger winding wheel, mild bits of oxide

Illinois, Bunn Special, 23J 60 Hour, Type III marking, 16S, white gold-filled OF original Bunn Special

Model 28 case, "Illinois Bunn Special 23 Jewel 60 Hour" marked white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, fully

capped lever escapement, jeweled barrel arbor, rayed pattern nickel damascene, s#5218825. An

excellent example of this high grade railroad watch; this movement features an "Illinois Watch"

factory marking rather than the "Illinois Watch Co." marking more commonly seen among Type III

production; this marking variant is identified as Type III (H) in Michael Chamelin's Bunn Special book

and is mentioned with an estimated production of two-to-three thousand made. Mvt: Running,

369 nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, some small micro-fine scratches to polished concave $550 -

few minimal pinpoint nicks to band, minuscule sliver of wear to brass just starting to form at portion of

upper right shoulder of rear and small portion of upper left shoulder of rear, tiny bits of wear to brass

to high corners of band "shoulders" and to high corners of pendant, some scratches inside rear from

past rubbing of at least one of the larger winding wheel's motor barrel screws; tight bow with thin

slivers of wear to brass to upper edges and small strips of wear to brass to underside, crown shows

little wear; good glass crystal.

Illinois, Grade 89, 17J, 18S, 3oz coin silver OF recase with beautiful engine turning and floral

engraving detail, offset gold hinges, fancy blue and white enamel SS dial with extensive gold foil

decoration, gilt hands, SW-LS, two-tone checkerboard pattern gilt and nickel damascene, s#3224584.

An extraordinary dial, fancy enamel Illinois signed dials of any style are rare and more colorful

examples such as this in flawless condition are particularly rare. Mvt: Running, crown lifts very

370 easily out of engagement when winding if not given a touch of downward pressure while turning, $500 -

nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, excellent two-tone color, barrel bridge with a mismatched $900

Illinois, "The Miners' Watch" marked mvt, "W. Manning Virginia Nev." marked dial, 11J, 18S, coin

silver OF original pair case with hidden key within pendant, nickel cuvette, white enamel SS dial,

KWKS, gilt mvt, s#30957. A very interesting and notably rare private label signature, this is only the

second example of the Illinois "The Miners' Watch" which we have encountered. Virginia City,

Nevada was the site of the 1859 "Comstock Lode," which was the first major silver ore discovery in

the United States. Virginia City developed very rapidly following the Comstock Lode discovery as

371 miners rushed in to pursue their fortunes, and Virginia City's population peaked at approximately $400 -
25,000 in the mid-1870s which corresponds with when this watch was produced. W. Manning's $800

jewelry business was located in Virginia City at No. 76A South C Street, and Manning advertised in

1878 as having the "largest stock of diamonds and watches, chains and jewelry in the State of

Nevada." Mvt: Running, fine-plus cosmetic mvt condition overall, plates with some scattered haze,

small spots and short fine scratches, balance cock screw is a non-blued replacement; dial with edge

abrasions, hidden key with good function; tight bow, key cap shows light wear; thick glass crystal with
some scattered fine scratches, short scratches, and tiny edge nicks.

Illinois, Bunn Special with scarce bright spotted damascene, 21J, 16S, gold-filled OF original case

with train engraving to rear, white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement, bright

spotted pattern nickel damascene, s#2571916. A scarce to rare watch, the total production of this

variant of Bunn Special 21 jewel with bright spotted damascene is estimated at 680 made per Michael

Chamelin's Bunn Special book. Also of note is that this watch is from the first ever run of 16 size Bunn

Special production, and this example is from the very early portion of this run being just the 16th Bunn

372 Special 16 size made by serial number. From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: Running, $400 -
nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, bright lustrous surfaces, few small fine to micro-fine $600

scratches; dial with small flake to inner rim of outer chapter inside 2, fine scratch below 12, edge flake

Illinois, Currier first run, serial #474, 11J, 18S, 4oz coin silver OF original Dueber case with offset

gold hinges, "Springfield Watch Co." marked white enamel SS dial, KWKS, gilt mvt, s#474. An

excellent original early example, the first run of Currier production spanned serial numbers 401 to 500

and was finished between March and June of 1872 with this particular serial number having been

finished in June. Mvt: Running, excellent-plus cosmetic mvt condition overall, excellent gilt tone,

373 small scratch and abrasion to barrel bridge adjacent barrel arbor escutcheon, few scattered mild $400 -

small haze spots; dial with short hls below seconds-register at 5:30, extremely faint hls between top of $800

seconds-register and edge at 10:30, minuscule edge nick under bezel at 11; excellent hands, tiny patch

of rust to tip of minute; case shows light wear, some typical fine to micro-fine scratches and pinpoint

nicks, no dents or dings, rear hinge missing an end-cap and front hinge missing a portion of an end-

cap; bow pivots freely and with a bit of play within pendant sockets; glass crystal with small edge chip

at 4:30 and a bit of glue excess at its seat.

Illinois, Bunn Special, 21J 60 Hour, Type III marking, green gold-filled OF original Bunn Special

Model case, white enamel DS dial, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement, rayed pattern nickel

damascene, s#5030570. The dial of this example is quite scarce and is notable for its extremely bold

Arabic hour numerals in combination with outward facing arrows at each minute position; this dial is

affectionately known as the "Fat Boy" style among many Bunn Special collectors and is discussed on

page 284 of Michael Chamelin's Bunn Special book. The "kite" style hands seen with this example are

often found in combination with this particular dial. This example is also notable for its uncommon

green gold-filled case. Mvt: Running, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, oxide to perimeter of

374 smaller winding wheel at one side, scratch at perimeter of barrel bridge adjacent case screw near $300 -
adjustment markings, some micro-fine scratches to larger winding wheel; dial with very small patched $500

surface nick at upper left perimeter of seconds-register to base of 55 second hash mark, some mild

beveling rub of perimeter under bezel, seconds-register appears possibly to have been re-seated with a

few small bits of fill material visible at the seating of its lower portion; nearly mint hands; case shows

little wear, few fine scratches and profuse micro-fine scratches to rear, profuse dings to band between

1 and 4 as well as between 11 and 12, small mar to edge of rear adjacent the band below the right side

of the pendant and short associated nearby scratch, good engraving detail, sliver of wear to brass to

bezel adjacent crystal between 6 and 9; tight bow, crown shows light wear; good glass crystal with

some small beveling of its edge at upper left.

Illinois, Bunn, 17J, 18S, gold-filled HC recase with attractive engraving detail including a small

lakeside home scene to rear, white enamel DS Gothic numeral dial, SW-LS, sunburst pattern nickel

damascene, s#2248205. This hunting case variant of the 17 jewel 18 size Bunn with sunburst

375 damascene is notably rare. At the time Bill Meggers' Illinois book was written the production of this $350 -
variant was estimated at 200 made corresponding to a single production run listed in the factory $650

records between serial numbers 2248201 to 2248400, but more recent study has found that observed

examples have all fallen within the early portion of the production run suggesting the possibility that

half or more of this run may not have been finished and that the actual production may in fact be in the

range of 100 or less made. An ongoing discussion thread on the NAWCC Message Board is tracking
these examples, and lists ten known examples all of which have serial numbers within the first 80
watches of the run and lists no known examples with serial numbers beyond the first 80 watches of the
run. From the collection of Charlie Winters. Mvt: Running, nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition
overall, bright lustrous surfaces, small scratch to foot of balance cock, mild circular fine scratch
around one barrel bridge screw, few typical small micro-fine scratches elsewhere; virtually flawless
dial with only some minuscule pinpoint edge nicks under bezel; excellent hands; case shows very light
wear, no dents or dings, good engraving detail overall though with loss of fine detail at front and rear
shoulders, slivers of wear to brass to high points of pendant, front hinge is missing its end-caps; tight
bow, crown shows light wear; good glass crystal.

Newark Watch Co, Robert Fellows, 11-15J, 18S, 4oz coin silver original HC, "Newark Watch Works"

marked white enamel SS dial, KWKS, gilt mvt, s#10323. Gross weight of assembled watch 116.0 dwt

(180.2 g). An excellent example from this uncommon early maker. Mvt: Running though with

excess escapement noise and some sluggishness when in dial down position, overhaul recommended,

excellent-plus cosmetic mvt condition overall, excellent gilt tone, some micro-fine scratches and mild

376 haze spots, some circular rub at case screw location where it appears a larger sized screw was once $400 -
used; virtually flawless dial with infinitesimal pinpoint nick at upper perimeter of seconds-register; $800

nearly mint hands; case shows little wear, an attractive moderate patina, small scratch at lower left

perimeter of rear, typical fine and micro-fine scratches elsewhere to exterior, cuvette with profuse fine

to micro-fine scratches surrounding winding aperture, ding to lower rear perimeter, good engraving

detail, case rear opens short of 90 degrees (to approximately 75 degrees); bow pivots freely and with

N.Y. Chronograph Watch Co, New York, time only watch with center-seconds, 11-15J, 16S, 5 year

gold-filled OF original case with attractive engraving detail, fancy white and yellow enamel dial with

gold foil decorations, SW-LS, gilt mvt, s#174627. A good example of this scarce watch, it is believed

that at most approximately 1000 examples of this 16 size N.Y. Chronograph Watch Co. model were

produced with known examples having serial numbers dispersed through the 174,001 to 175,000

range. This example, like nearly all observed of the 16 size model, has a main plate that was machined

to accept chronograph mechanism but is lacking chronograph components having been finished as a

time only watch with center-seconds rather than as a chronograph. For further excellent info on this

377 style of watch as well as others by Manhattan Watch Co. and N.Y. Chronograph Watch Co., we $200 -
recommend Michael C. Harrold's excellent two-part article in the April and June 2010 issues of the $400

NAWCC Bulletin. Mvt: Ticking somewhat sluggishly, sweep-seconds-hand with choppy motion

occasionally stalling and then skipping ahead two or more beats, overhaul recommended, excellent

cosmetic mvt condition overall, some small fine scratches, regulator with some oxide, machined to

accept a regulator spring but none is present; dial with scattered hls; fine hands, bend to tip of sweep-

seconds-hand; case shows light wear, shallow denting to rear, reduced engraving detail, engine

turning detail substantially reduced, slivers of wear to brass to raised ridges of case design and some

spots of wear to brass to portions of high points of engraved detail; bow pivots freely, crown shows

light wear; good glass crystal.

missing its locking dust-cap, s#4998 with matching serial number within case. Gross weight of

assembled watch 62.6 dwt (97.4 g). Although the movement is presumably of English manufacture

and marked for this American retailer, we have listed this watch among our American category due to

378 its American contract signature and due to the distinct possibility that its case was made in America. $1,000 -

380 images of "The Boston Globe" articles from 1920 and 1922 which note Joseph M. Reed's service with $800 -
the 11th Massachusetts, his second marriage at 74 years of age, and his attendance at the 58th reunion $1,600

of the 11th Light Battery. From the estate of Daniel L. Haff. Mvt: Running, fine cosmetic mvt

Waltham, Appleton Tracy & Co, Model 1857, 16J, 18S, coin silver OF pair style recase, nickel

cuvette, white enamel SS dial, KWKS, gold jewel settings, nickel damascene, s#933061. A very

unusual and intriguing piece, this is the only example of a Model 1857 Appleton Tracy & Co. with

nickel damascene finish that we have encountered. This movement also has notably atypical features

of gold jewel settings and jeweling to the upper end of its center wheel arbor. Please see our comments

in the condition report for observations from a partial disassembly of the movement. Mvt: NR, fully

wound, in the dial down position will tick for a few moments with a twist, when dial up will not tick at

all with a twist, overhaul needed, mvt has been partially disassembled and we observe that plate finish

385 is nickel throughout, damascene pattern is correctly matched among main plate, balance cock and $300 -
barrel bridge, underside of balance cock is marked with s#1163, underside of balance wheel spars $600
(arms) are not marked with any evident s#, underside of barrel bridge is marked with s#11 at one side

and s#16 at the other, and visible surface under dial is marked with s#11163 and s#1163, this

combination of consistent movement finish but inconsistent numbering suggests the possibility that this

watch was either a factory employee's piece or was otherwise finished at Waltham outside of the

course of regular production, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, some scattered fine to micro-

fine scratches; dial with edge chip at 5, some small edge flakes elsewhere, faint hl above seconds-

register; excellent hands; case shows medium wear, scratches and fine scratches, some shallow dents

to rear, ding across rear/body seam at 3, few mild dings elsewhere; bow pivots freely; good glass

crystal.

Waltham, Champion, Model 1872, 16J, 16S, gold-filled OF original case with floral engraving detail

to rear in addition to name "C.F. Roughan," vermicelli detail to bezel, band and rear perimeter, white

enamel SS dial, SW-LS, gilt damascene, mirror finish and damascene winding wheels, s#4527195.

The Champion is a rare watch with a total production of only 200 made; this grade was made with a

range of attractive gilt damascene patterns and was produced in a single run that is notable for being

386 the highest serial numbers found among Model 1872 regular production. Mvt: Ticking somewhat $200 -
sluggishly and with error in the flat of its balance motion after a twist to start, overhaul recommended, $400
excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall, excellent gilt damascene tone, short scratch at center

between jewel setting and larger winding wheel recess, some oxide to winding wheels and regulator

assembly; dial with edge chip at 8 and associated surrounding hls at perimeter, additional hl

extending inward at 8; case shows very light wear, no dents or dings, mild reduction of engraving

detail, small spots of wear to brass to high ridges of pendant; tight bow, crown shows medium wear

with ample ridge break; good glass crystal.

Waltham, Wm Ellery with modifications for clockwatch function, Model 1877, 9-11J, 18S, mounted

in a 57mm brass case, skeletonized metal perimeter dial chapter, KWKS with second KW barrel for

strike mechanism, gilt mvt, s#1511591. This piece has been extensively modified with the intent to

387 create an hour-striking clockwatch. Mvt: Running, extensively modified for intended clockwatch $200 -
operation, components appear complete with round wire gong but currently not functioning and it is $400
unclear if it ever did function reliably, currently mvt makes no more than a brief noise of power

release when clockwatch function is engaged, overhaul needed for clockwatch function, otherwise fine

cosmetic mvt condition overall, some darkening and haze to portions of gilt plates; skeletonized metal

dial chapter with some oxide; fair hands with some oxide, hour is bent; case shows light wear, ample
