Comments:
Offered in 1931, the Clinton was Hamilton's second offering which
was sold with a metal band - the Palisade was the first which was
offered in 1930. The Clinton was offered in two variations - an
early version which was sold with an integrated metal band and a
slightly later version that utilized lugs for usage with a
leather strap.
Examples with metal bands as this example has, are very rare.
Like the Palisade, the Clinton had a
limited offering indicating that it was not popularly received.
The Clinton was offered in a sterling
silver variation and was known as the Greeley.
