Circa 1928-1930.
Here we have a unique vintage Hamilton Barrel in a 14K solid white gold case with a luminous dial and skeleton hands. The bezel is plain while the sides of the middle section is engraved with a "wheat" pattern. Not only are solid gold Barrels hard to come by but this particular watch has an anomalous feature making the case two-toned. The top and bottom sections are white while the middle section appears yellow but if polished, will turn back to white. This is a natural occurrence that only happens once in a blue moon. Beneath the dial is a genuine Hamilton grade 987 manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that runs strong and kept excellent time over a 24 hour period. The inside of the snap-back case reads: Hamilton Watch Co., Fahys, 14K Solid Gold, 289256. The watch sets and winds smoothly and measures at approximately 28mm wide x 34mm from lug end to lug end.
