| Case Details | In side of rear cover show what appear to be small hammer marks where dents in the case back were probably knocked out. Very "floppy" loose fitting bow and actually looks too small in thickness. Being a Hampden watch made after they were acquired by the Dueber W.C.Co. a Dueber made case would be appropriate for a re-case. |

| Dial Details | Large repair done on outer edge of dial between 11:24 and 12:06. A series of six large spider like hairlines on dial. Numerous small chips on outer circumference of the dial (though hidden when bezel attached). |
| Movement Markings | Serial number stamped on train bridge. "17 Jewels", Canton O.", "Adjusted", "Menlo Park", and Hampden logo, stamped on barrel bridge. Numbers, lettering, and scroll work on balance bridge done in gilt. |
