General Stark<\/span><\/b><\/h3>
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<\/a>, which probably accounts for the company naming a watch grade in his honor.<\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
