WRUW 1/29/2023 thru 2/4/2023

#1 Post by GreenBayStamps » Mon Jan 30, 2023 8:00 am

Let's start this up again and see if there is any interest.

The uncatalogued 1954 K-500. There were two dial I have found this. this is the cleaner of the two.

It has a 658 movement. Their are adds to support the new automatics for Hamilton. Hard to believe the K-200 and K-500 share a newspaper AD!

Happy Monday!

I always think Hamilton missed the mark by making the "A" gold filled and the "B" solid gold. The "A" is a much more interesting design with its unique lugs. Then again, most people probably aren't as obsessed with gold as me. :|
