New Hamilton in the House!
8
As my collection transforms into somrthing different, I have sold six watches in the last 6 weeks and have funded 3 purchases. The latest of which is better known as the birthplace of the Father of our Country, Mount Vernon.
Hamilton first built the Mount Vernon in 1932 and only built 1721 pieces.. Here is a picture of the original version...
