Case Details Gold filled case was made by the American Watch Case Company. The case is a high quality gold filled case guaranteed for 25 years. The inner movement cover has the Cashier stamp with the wheel and wings logo. The case is not original to the movement but is at least correct for the period.

Movement Markings Hampden Watch Co. Canton, O.
Safety Pinion
15 Jewels
2716819

Movement specification: 15 Jewels, screw jewel settings. Duo tone, micrometric Hampden star regulator, unadjusted. Model 4. Grade 440. 1910

Two tone finish on the movement usually reserved for higher end movements. Both balance jewel cap screws have been replaced with silver screws. The case is not original as can be seen via the 2 extra screw marks but it does elevate the Hampden giving it a classy look and feel. It was the uncommon movement appearance that really interested me in this Hampden.
