An antique Hamilton 956 pocket watch, 1915
An antique Hamilton 956 pocket watch, 1915.
The watch has a grade 956 stem-winding movement with micrometer and a beautiful damscened finish. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 1167727 dates it back to 1915. This was one of the earlier models as the 956 was produced from 1914 until 1930. The movement is accessed through the front of the watch, and it hinges out of the case… the inside of the case back is signed with the Hamilton details together with the wording “guaranteed 25 years” which probably relates to the gold filled case.
Some collectors consider the 956 movement to be a low grade railroad watch. The railroads started with fairly modest specifications for railroad grade watches, with the specifications only being upgraded in the 1920s. When the watch was first introduced, 1,500 were actually made for railroad workers. Then Hamilton decided to make the watch a production model for general release to all customers. The watch marketed for $25 until they discontinued production, and liquidated their inventory. $25 back then was $300 in todays dollars.
This particular watch itself measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. There are a couple of indentations to the back of the watch but other than that the case is in good condition.
The lens is in good condition, just a couple of very minor marks.
The white enamel dial is in lovely condition and the double sunk dial and ornate numerals give it a charming appearance. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
