Antique Hampden Lafayette pocket watch, 1881
Antique Hampden Lafayette pocket watch, 1881.
The watch has a 15 jewel stem-winding nickel movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed Hampden, Springfield, Massachusetts and the serial number, 194312, dates it back to 1881. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover... there are a few short scratches where the back has been opened in the past.
The watch is larger than normal at 59mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is coin silver which is an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper, as used for US coinage. It was made by Fahys, a New York based case maker. Joseph Fahys & Co was a high quality watch case maker with headquarters in New York. The company was founded in 1857 by Joseph Fahys, a French emigrant The case is in lovely condition, just one minor “ding” towards the edge of the hinged case back.
The watch glass is lovely and thick. It has little marks across it but because it gives the watch such character, we have decided to leave it.
The signed dial is in good condition, just a small chip to the very edge by number 9 but it is mostly hidden by the bezel when the front is closed.
Lever set blued steel hands (one replacement), a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch comes in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us for international shipping prices. Due to changes in EU regulations, including Northern Ireland, we no longer ship to these destinations.
For other countries, The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
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.
