<p>Heres an old catalog  for Hamilton pocket watches in the 1920&#8217;s:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Hamilton Advert" src="https://i0.wp.com/library.ihc185.com/catalogs/1925cat/hw01.jpg" alt="" width="337" height="631" /></p>
<p>I dated it back to 1916-19 thanks to its serial number and these websites: <a href="http://library.ihc185.com/catalogs/">http://library.ihc185.com/catalogs/</a> ; <a href="http://thewatchguy.homestead.com/pages/HamiltonSerial.html">http://thewatchguy.homestead.com/pages/HamiltonSerial.html</a></p>
