That watch might outlive the cockroaches. Wifey gave me the same one on our wedding day.

GEC 68 bark ivory #06 on the bolster but bottom of tube says 1 of 5 which agrees with production totals. Single spring no halfstop smooth, clip / pen combo, pinched bolsters, love the old style UN-X-LD shield. Ceramic SS Daytona, only out for special ocassions. Black dial is more masculine than white. 3 year wait for the Daytona from AD.

Even Paul Newman would be envious of this pair

Is that a Pelikan? The barrel and clip look like Pelican. I've never seen a ballpoint from them. I have four of their fountain pens.

Beautiful 1899 Bell Specs compliant Waltham Railroad watch on the right.
(all minutes numbered, 5's in red, lever set, size 16S, 21 jewels minimum, open case (Hunter cases were not allowed). When new and in service it had to run no worse than +/- 5 seconds a month. )

Thanks for the info.
I had to look up what 21+ jewels means.
The inscription in the back of the Hamilton (Compliant Waltham Railroad Watch?) has an inscription date of 1919 (watch may be older?) and both are family hand me downs.
I was able to set the lever today and It seems to be keeping time okay so far today.
The inside is pretty amazing above is a quick handheld shot.

Mr. Bell's standards/requirements (adopted by the Feds in 1899 after a really bad train wreck, caused by a stopped watch, involving a freight train and a passenger train, if memory serves ... several hundred died. The worst train wreck to date at the time, and were forced on all the railroads. They were in effect until post WW2 ... or at least until there was two sets of tracks on the main lines, anyway, so trains traveling west could not collide with a train traveling east. (or north/south)
