Don,

I guess we have the same records? :biggrin:

[Richard Morris]

Thank You Guys, The watch is marked T.F. Hollander Salinas, Calif. Has first rate dial & movement has no screwdriver marks on it , ser # 35323. Just wanted to share that with you, I did not know Hamilton would put a name on a early watch like this from what I can get dates between 1893 - 1894. Thank You again ! Rich

There are plenty of early known Hamiltons with PLs and Calif PLs are esp collectible.

The batch to which your watch belonged went to the finishing department on 2/18/98 and 3/19/98. It took between 1 to 6 months for a watch to make it through the finishing department, but sometimes it took years if a model was not selling and was put aside.

If you are a member of NAWCC, you can send a request to research@NAWCC.org for the exact date your watch was finished, sold and to whom (jobber).

Customers could request private labels on the movements and/or dials. The 930 and 931 were often private label.
