Hamilton Watch Co., Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1892-1969)

Description

“Drummond” CA 1939

This is a 17-jewel 8/o sized 730 movement.  The 730 is a 2nd generation of the 747 movement that was introduced in the 1940’s.  The main difference is the 730 has shock jewels for the balance.  Shock jewels protect the delicate balance staff pivots from damage from accidents like dropping the watch or banging into a door jamb.  It has a 14K gold-filled case, stainless steel back and gold numerals.  Almost no wear; keeps excellent time.
