Just thought I would share a few Railroad Grade pocket watches in my collection. I will show them individually in up coming post.
Top left (above train) is a Hamilton Grade 940 (already has a separate post)
Top right (above train) is a Elgin Grade 252 Father Time
Starting from the left below the train are:
Waltham, Vanguard Grade, Model 1892
Illinois, Bunn Special, Model 6
Hamilton, Grade 992, Model 1
Hamilton, Grade 992, Model 1
Waltham, Crescent Street, Model 1908
Waltham, Premier Vanguard, Model 1908
Waltham, Vanguard, Model 1908
Elgin, B.W. Raymond Grade 455, Model 15
Illinois, Burlington Watch Co., Grade 107, Model 9
All are lever set, adjusted, required jewels to the specifications the railroads required.
Thanks for taking the time to view,
Dave

You have a lovely collection!
Do you restore watches? I have a friend that restores these. They are true works of art. A beautiful collection!
Absolutely incredible!! A very awesome looking display you have here.

Great set of RR watches. I lucked out a couple of times over the years, Got a Waltham 1908 Vanguard sidewinder with Montgomery dial and a lovely Hamilton 990 with perpetual warranty case and original box with papers. Separate estate sales both under $50. Had to replace the crystal on the Waltham but other than that both keep great time.
