My Grandfather passed it down to me when he passed away. Was hoping to learn a little more about it (date of manufacture, etc.) but can't seem to find anything about it. Here's some photos! The back etching says 10k Gold Filled / Hamilton Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Look here: http://www.vintagewatchforums.com/viewforum.php?f=21 I would focus on the time period of 1947-53. You should find it there somewhere. gatorcpa
I'm no expert in Hamilton watches from this time period, but usually when I encounter Hamiltons like this I find it very helpful to remove the movement and identify the cal. #. A simple google search of "Hamilton" followed by the Cal. #, 9 times out of 10 gets me enough archives I need to identify the watch. Hope this helps.
That could be a Custer, a Cameron, a Glen Curtis, or a Captain Rice. Your dial has different dial markers to any of the four, but there are a lot of similarities. A lot of Hamiltons of the era have the model name marked inside the case back. Maybe check and see.
You have to look at all the catalogs. There are plenty of pictures there: See if the Austin does it for you. From 1952. gatorcpa
gator, do you actually mean somebody is supposed to do their own homework? Nobody is going to hand them the answer just because they asked? How dare you suggest that!
Yes, I guess Billy Joel is too busy playing piano to look past the first link for pictures. Lazy. gatorcpa
