Comments:
Offered in 1931, the Webster was one of Hamilton's most successful
offerings during the early to mid 1930's. Over 25,000 examples were
produced in two variations - 14K yellow and white gold filled.
The Webster is very similar to the
Glenn Curtiss in design with the exception of having a ribbed bezel
and utilizing a manufactured case (the Glenn Curtiss utilized a
hand-made case). In fact, the dial of the Glenn Curtiss is
interchangeable with the Webster.
