An interesting early Hampden “Molly Stark” manual-wind, lever-set watch in an ornate wristwatch case, accompanied by a brown leather strap.
The movement is marked Canton, Ohio, with serial number 2,000,189. Its estimated production date is approximately 1904–1905; this dates the movement, and the wristwatch case may be later.
Features include a Hampden-signed dial, large black Arabic numerals, red five-minute markings, small seconds dial, and decorative engraving around the case.
CONDITION:
• Running at the time of listing. Long-term accuracy and service history have not been established.
• The dial, crystal, and case show age-related wear. Please examine the photographs for scratches, discoloration, and other details.
• Includes the brown leather strap shown.
This is a lever-set watch: setting the hands requires access to the small lever beneath the front bezel. It does not set by simply pulling out the crown. Careful handling is recommended.
A distinctive piece for a collector interested in early American watch movements and unusual wristwatches.
Please review all photographs as part of the description. You will receive the actual watch pictured.
