This is a MINT example of a Hamilton Railroad Grade watch with a great condition case. This is a lever set watch. It is in a very nice Star Watch Company 10k Rolled Gold Plate case. The enameled dial is VERY nice and CLEAN. This watch looks like it was just purchased new from the jewelry shop in 1944. The watch is running well but hasn't been timed/adjusted or cleaned recently.

My hobby (often with my son) is going to flea markets, garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores in my spare time to look for treasures. I list the interesting things I find that I don't keep, so that others may enjoy them (and the money I make doing this helps me feel less guilty when I tell my wife about the money I have spent on the things I have bought for myself). In most cases I am not an expert on the items I sell, but I will do my best to describe them and I will pass along what I learn in any limited research I do. Of course I am always happy to answer any questions the best I can. I hope that everyone who buys from me is happy with their purchase. However, to the extent that someone receives something and feels that it is not what they had expected, please contact me and, if your point is reasonable, I will do my best to fix it as I want anyone who buys from me to be happy with their purchase. Buy with Confidence--I have sold items for as little as a few dollars and as much as $2,995 (see my 11th Seller Feedback).
Overseas Buyers
I will accept foreign bids only if the bidder has 30+ in TOTAL feedback, which are all positive for the last twelve months. Foreign/international bidders who do not meet these qualifications will have their bid deleted unless they contact me for pre-approval.
