Comments:
The Taylor was not very popular when introduced and subsequently is
a fairly scarce Hamilton. In addition, Taylor's are prone to heavy
wear and many were likely discarded over the years.
The Taylor was one of several
Hamilton's produced with articulated lugs during the mid-thirties
and, other than the Pierre, all were "moderately priced." Other
Hamilton's that utilized articulated lugs during the mid-thirties
include the Prescott and Ellsworth, however each of these models
were cased in round cases as opposed to the Taylor which was
rectangular in shape.
The Taylor was produced in yellow
gold filled only and was produced for slightly longer than one year.
