1907 Hampden Pocket Watch

This watch belonged to my great grandfather.  It is a Hampden Pocket Watch, circa 1907.

Here’s a description of the General Stark model:

General Stark

The Hampden Watch Co. grade General Stark, a modest model 4, 16-size, 17-jewel, nickel-finished, unadjusted movement, available in both open-face and hunting-case versions, was introduced after the turn of the century. The grade was also produced as a 12-size, 15-jewel watch. General John Stark, for whom the watch was named, was a revolutionary war hero of Bunker Hill and Bennington fame. The Hampden Watch Co.’s home of Canton, Ohio is in Stark County, which probably accounts for the company naming a watch grade in his honor.
