- Lot Description
Antique Hampden Watch Co. pocket watch – 17-jewel adjusted movement – “Toby’s Montauk” 20-year gold-filled case – serial #3108360 – circa early 1900s.
Description:
A striking Hampden Watch Company pocket watch, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and precision of American watchmaking in the early 20th century. The movement is ornately engraved “C.W. Tewksbury”, featuring bright damaskeening with floral patterning, and marked “Adjusted – 17 Jewels – Canton, O.” The movement number 3108360 dates this example to approximately 1916.
The watch is housed in a Toby’s Montauk gold-filled case, stamped inside the back cover:
“Toby’s Montauk – Guaranteed 20 Years – 19226983.”
The Montauk line, produced by the Keystone Watch Case Company, was known for its durable gold-filled construction with a 20-year wear guarantee, designed to resist brassing and maintain its luster through years of use.The dial is an elegant white enamel with black Arabic numerals, a subseconds dial at 6 o’clock, and fine blued-steel spade hands. The chapter ring includes red 5-minute markers, adding a touch of contrast and functionality. The clean, classic aesthetic reflects the period’s focus on legibility and refined simplicity.
The case exhibits gentle wear and warm patina consistent with age, while the movement remains visually clean and intricately finished.
Value and Sale Information:
Hampden pocket watches were prized for their robust and beautifully finished movements, particularly those in the 17-jewel “Adjusted” grade. The combination of craftsmanship, jeweled movement, and Montauk gold-filled case makes this an appealing piece for collectors and enthusiasts of American horology.
Comparable 17-jewel Hampden examples in similar condition generally range from $350 to $600, depending on function and cosmetic presentation.
This example, with a well-preserved dial, clean engraved movement, and desirable case, is valued around $475.
Offered for sale as-is.
A beautifully finished Hampden Watch Co. 17-jewel pocket watch, featuring the artistry of early 20th-century American manufacture and the reliability that made Hampden a respected name among precision timekeepers.
