Folks we have a very special offering for your consideration in this Ball Hamilton Pocket Watch Railroad Grade 999 circa 1927. This is one of the highest-grade pocket watches manufactured by the Hamilton Watch Company or any other watch manufacture of the day. This Ball Hamilton Model 999 was manufactured in partnership with Webb C. Ball who at the request of the U.S Department of the Interior set the standard for timekeeping in 1894, this was after a disastrous accident between two mail trains with extensive loss of life and propriety all due to a faulty timepiece. Webb C. Ball did not actually produce any pocket watches himself; rather he worked with the major watch companies to produce these finest of Railroad Grade Pocket Watches. This is truly a collector's pocket watch with this wonderful configuration of the White Gold Fill Display Back Case, Ball Hamilton Grade 999 Movement, Ball Patented Melamine Railroad Dial highlighted with the beautifully Blued Steel Spade/Spade Railroads Hands.
