Job Number 220021, Hampden General Stark

Here's a nice Hampden Watch Company, General Stark, model 4, 16 size, 17 jewels made about 1906.

It's quite a decorative movement.
As is usually the case the fingered bridge over the 4th and escape is actually one part, although the two screws are real. This type of bridge is just a matter of style.

On the dial side, it's a little tricky to get all the wheels and the spring placed during assembly, but it's not the most awkward design I've seen for lever-setting
This is one of those movements where one of the screws for the pallet bridge is directly under the center wheel. This one isn't the most awkward I've seen though. There's plenty of room in there.
