Hamilton 961 21 Jewel 16s Hunting Case Milwaukee Private Label Pocket Watch Mvt
Posted by in hamilton
16 size 21 jewel hunting case pendant-set Grade 961 pocket watch movement/dial/hands. Movement and dial are private label signed for A. Bloedel of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Movement is a beautifully finished bridge model with gold jewel settings, gold balance screws, gold train wheels, and a striped pattern nickel damaskeen. Dial is double-sunk enamel with Arabic hour numerals. Movement requires a detent style stem for its winding and setting mechanism and comes with one as pictured, and movement will require an appropriate case for this stem type. Movement serial number is 51925. Running and a nice looking movement overall cosmetically with good color and luster. One case screw is missing. Dial faces up well but has a patched edge chip at 21 minutes, some scattered outer chapter hairlines, and some flaking at the center of its seconds-register.

The NAWCC (National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors) is a group that has a 65 year history, a terrific online message board for collectors, and the NAWCC puts on many watch and clock shows across the United States every year. I’ve been an NAWCC member since 1991 and recommend it to every collector of watches or clocks.
