RARE 1915 Hamilton 992 Railroad Pocket Watch W/Chain - 21J 16s - 1,000 Run - RUN

Description:Up for sale is a stunning example of American industrial history: a 1915 Hamilton Grade 992 Railroad Grade pocket watch paired with a vintage pocket watch chain for a complete display-ready set. This specific timepiece is a collector's prize, as it comes from a very limited production run of only 1,000 units (Run ID: 1594), making it significantly harder to find than standard 992 models.

Movement: The watch is currently running. The balance wheel has a strong, steady motion.
