The other watches cant make the name out but Hamilton was named brand also some were 21 jewels and others 17 the one still has gold chain or watch fob on it. I also worked for the RR for 38 years and I got my grandfathers, fathers and mothers watches who also worked for the RR because the rest my brothers and sisters didn't pursue a railroad life and that was a smart move on their because its not the railroading it once used to be taking Pride in your job and talking with your customers along the way the lumberyards, grain elevators, and factories have for the most are by gones. ITS CALLED TECHONOGLY AS EVERY INDUSTRIES HAVE EXPERIENCED...  GREAT COLLECTION OF WATCHES AND COINS......... ENJOY... ESPECIALLY ANY RR STORIES HE TOLD YOU........[/QUOTE]
