THIS IS A SCARCE 1914 HAMILTON MODEL 946 RAILROAD GRADE 23 JEWEL ADJUSTED LEVER SET / STEM WIND 18 SIZE POCKET WATCH (SER# 986634). IT’S IN A MINTY CLEAN & BRIGHT DEFIANCE CHROME BASE METAL RAILROAD CASE. THE WATCH HAS A DOUBLE SUNK WHITE PORCELAIN DIAL WITH BLACK ARABIC HOUR NUMERALS & A RED OUTER MINUTE NUMERAL CHAPTER. THE CASE IS SIGNED AS DEFIANCE ON THE INSIDE BACK. THE WATCH IS TWICE SIGNED: ON THE DIAL & THE MOVEMENT. THE CASE MEASURES APPROX. 2 1.8 IN DIAMETER. I WOUND THE WATCH RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATE. IT CAME RIGHT TO LIFE AND RAN. I LET THE WATCH RUN FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE LISTING TO MAKE SURE IT WORKED. IT RAN SMOOTH W/O STOPPING. THE CASE IS NOT WORN LOOKING, BEAT UP, ROTTED OUT, BENT UP, DENTED UP, REPAIRED OR MODIFIED. THE DIAL IS CLEAN BRIGHT WHITE. IT’S NOT SOILED UP. I CAN SEE A TINY CHIP AT THE EDGE OF THE DIAL WHERE THE LEVER PULLS IN AND OUT – SEE PHOTOS. THE CRYSTAL IS NOT CRACKED OR FOGGED UP. THE CROWN WINDS THE MOVEMENT FINE & THE LEVER SETS THE TIME FINE. THE MOVEMENT IS BRIGHT & CLEAN INSIDE – SEE PHOTOS. THE CASE IS TRULY MINTY LOOKING. I DO THINK IT WAS EVER CARRIED ON A CHAIN OR WORN AROUND. THE CASE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST STORED FOR MANY YEARS. IT JUST LOOKS THAT CLEAN TO ME. THE WATCH IS BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES AS A 100+ YEAR OLD PRE-OWNED ANTIQUE HAMILTON TIMEPIECE DIRECTLY OUT OF AN ESTATE. IT HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED, ALTERED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY BY ME. IT WAS SIMPLY WOUND SEVERAL TURNS, AND MY OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATE. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW LONG THE WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AS WELL AS IT IS NOW. IT WAS FOUND STORED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED PART OF THE ESTATE HOME. THE WATCH WAS NOT FOUND IN A WET BASEMENT OR OUTSIDE STORAGE. I HOPE IT GOES TO A GOOD HAMILTON OR RAILROAD WATCH COLLECTION. IT’S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE. ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR 15 YEARS. YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS BROUGHT TO ME RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT’S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO. THE ITEMS LISTED HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. IE: IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP. MY AUCTIONS ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. COL LECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT AUCTIONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SOMETIMES ITEMS DIE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OFFER. I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I OBSERVE. PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS “OLD” TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT “SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE” TO SOMEONE. MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. I DO NOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULING.
