This Hampden pocket watch is one of the rare ones manufactured in Springfield, MA instead of OH where you see most made.  That is because the original Hampden Watch Co. was founded in  Springfield and named after the county Springfield is located in, Hampden County.  These are really tough to find especially in railroad grade and coin silver 18s size.  I'm lucky because I live in a Springfield, MA suburb...and it's one of the only places I can still find these made in Springfield.  The original porcelain dial is perfect and no flaws are noted.  The watch is lever set and triple hinged.  In fact, take a look at those hinges on the front bezel, this case maker wasn't messing around.  The movement is clean as a whistle and just serviced March 2018; the watch is working as it should and is keeping excellent time.  Thank you.
