Serial Number 816366 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I have the Hampden pocket watch (SN 816366) in my
hand. It has "NR" engraved in the flag, not "SR".
This corresponds to what I get when referring to
"The Hampden Watch Co." by Hernick and Arnold
(published by NAWCC in 1997). And it appears, from
the same source, to be grade 104. Everything else
in the current listing appears to be correct
