About the Item

Hamilton 17-Jewel Full Hunter Pocket Watch, c.1925 – Gold-Filled Case A beautifully preserved early 20th-century full hunter pocket watch by the Hamilton Watch Company, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, c.1925. This elegant timepiece features a crisp white enamel dial with black Roman numerals, recessed seconds dial at six o’clock, and fine blued steel spade hands — all framed beneath a high-domed crystal. The movement is a high-grade 17-jewel, manually-wound calibre signed Hamilton Watch Co., Lancaster PA, with serial number 1856038, dating the piece to circa 1925. The engine-turned movement is housed in a gold-filled case, stamped Guaranteed 25 Years with internal serial number 10632601. The case opens and closes tightly and displays only minor surface wear consistent with age. The gold-filled construction offers the lustre of gold with excellent durability — a hallmark of American watchmaking standards of the period. Offered with what appears to be the original brown felt slip pouch with red stitched edges. Dimensions: Diameter (excluding bow): 4.5 cm Height (including crown): 6 cm Depth: approx. 1 cm Condition: In excellent vintage condition. Dial and crystal remain extremely clean, with no visible cracks or losses. Case shows only light handling wear. Winds, sets, and runs smoothly (not tested for long-term timekeeping). A well-preserved collector’s example from one of America’s premier horological manufacturers.
