Very Scarce 1947 Vintage Model 3 Tu Tone Case 21j Hamilton 992b Railroad
Posted by in very
Presented is a nice example of the Hamilton Railroad grade 992B in its original scarce Model 3 tu tone case, with its original single sunk dial and great running high grade movement. The lever set open face movement is a 16′s with 21 jewels, featuring nice bright nickle straight lined damaskeened plates with black lettering, Elinvar Balance with great motion, and gold jewel settings. It was cleaned just a couple of weeks ago and runs great. It is marked Hamilton Watch Co. USA 992B 21 Jewels Adj. And 6 Positions and bears the serial number C225922. Virtually no rust except for the main winding wheel and a touch on the regulator spring, and that’s it. The very scarce Model 3 case (I always thought it was a Model 2 that was offered in a tu tone) is cosmetically in very nice condition with no dents or dings and the only things I can pick at is a small amount of light wearthru on the body and a touch on the bow. The bezels screw off just fine but can be a tad tricky at times (though once you get the hang of it, with a light touch and starting it straight they work fine). It is marked on the bottom body “W 10K Gold Filled” and on the inside “Wadsworth Base Metal”. The original Boxcar single sunk enamel dial is in nice condition with no issues that I can find and is signed “Hamilton” in block. Very nice original black steel hands. Nice original beveled edge glass crystal. Scarce tu tone case 992B. The item “VERY SCARCE 1947 VINTAGE MODEL 3 TU TONE CASE 21J HAMILTON 992B RAILROAD” is in sale since Tuesday, August 02, 2016.
