Lot #217: Hamilton 992 Railroad Pocket Watch - 21 Jewel, Lever Set - Gold Filled Case - Running

Offered here is a classic American railroad-grade pocket watch by the renowned Hamilton Watch Company — Model 992, featuring a 21 jewel movement and correct lever-set configuration. This is a true railroad specification watch, adjusted and built to the high accuracy standards required for railway service. The crown does not set the hands (as expected); time is set via the lever beneath the bezel. The watch winds smoothly. It will tick and run, though it is intermittent and would benefit from a proper cleaning and service, as is common with vintage mechanical watches that have sat for years. When started, it has been observed to run for several hours, indicating a functioning mainspring and intact movement. Housed in a gold-filled case. A highly collectible and respected American railroad watch, ideal for restoration, collection, or resale after servicing. A strong example of early 20th century American horology!
