Comments:
The Morley was one of a new line Hamilton introduced in the "lower"
priced category. The 1936 Catalog advertised this line as
"Hamilton's popular-priced strap watches" that contained the 987 17
jewel movement. This line was marketed to individuals that
previously could not afford to own a Hamilton and the model line was
available in gold-filled cases only.
This particular Morley has an unusual
"wood grained" dial. The dial is solid silver and has a simulated
"wood grain" etched into the silver giving the impression that the
dial was carved from a piece of wood.
