Bunn Special 161A 21j/6pos/60hr movement wrapped in a Model #3 Hamilton case. Excellent condition. No Reserve!  This is the start of my annual fall auctions of Railroad Grade pocket watches and other fine timepieces. I have been saving up all year putting away some real gems for this sale. Some great surprises are coming including investment grade Hamilton, Illinois, Ball & other fine & rare railroad watches. Also coming is the most scarce Illinois every made the infamous "163 Type II" of which only 50 were produced & only 8 known to survive & this one is investment grade!! So, now through the holidays keep checking my auctions & see what is new. All just starting at $9.95 with no reserve!  An excellent two-tone stainless steel/gold filled case. Watch measure's 51mm.  Stainless steel covers on this case with a yellow gold filled frame.  Bar-over-crown with Hamilton Railroad crown.  Dial is snowy white with BIG, BOLD numerals. What a great looking dial!  Close-up of this handsome double sunk Illinois dial. No hairlines...  The beautiful blue hands are always a pleasure to look at.  Case shows only light wear from carry & use.  Covers screw on & off easily.  The case is in excellent condition with only very light brass showing on the pendant. Details are sharp & crisp...  Case is marked Wadsworth / Base Metal. Stainless Steel was at that time considered to be a base metal.  Very nice Illinois 161A movement. The case probably held a 992B at one time.  Clean 16s 21j /6pos Elinvar movement is stem wind & lever set. Movement is running fine & has excellent motion. Movement has not been serviced or timed.  Just a few close ups to show you the condition of this fine movement. Marked Elinvar on the train bridge.   Marked Illinois Bunn Special ~ 161A ~ Elinvar ~ 21 Jewels ~ Sixty Hours ~ adjusted temp. & 6 positions ~ serial number 5527153 dates this to 1935. This is a must have for the serious railroad watch collector. Of Special Note: If you are using an older copy of Shugart's book, throw it away & get the 2009 copy. Prices are considerably higher, as much as $1000! You really don't want to miss out on these watches by underbidding using an old book & regretting in later, which you will, because you will not find nicer examples of these railroad watches, period. What else can I say? These will be the nicest examples of pocket watches you will find on Ebay or the internet. I take great pride in my watches & promise these will be the crown jewels in your collection. Photos should tell the rest of the story.
