Note: Railroad grade should be yes. Watch was my
grandfathers who ran the diner cars out of Chicago
to Denver and Los Angeles.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The Hamilton 974 was not adjusted to positions, and therefore, would not have qualified for official railroad service at the time. A worker operating the dining cars would not have been required to carry a watch that met the same standards.
