Note: It is an open face 16 size 21 jewel model 4 that
would be railroad grade because many but not all
still accepted adjusted 3 positions pocket
watches. It is marked Hampden Watch Co., Double
Roller, Steel Escape Wheel, 21 jewels and Safety
Pinion around the center wheel.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This information has been added to the source data for the run. While the watch would have been accepted on some railroads at the time, we typically classify the "Railroad Grade" designation during this era as adjusted to 5 positions.
