You are bidding on an 18 size ILLINOIS WATCH CO 24 JEWEL BUNN SPECIAL railroad grade pocket watch. The movement No is 1383034. As you can see the dial has issues - there are at least six hairlines including one that extends fully across the second hand dial. Additionally, there is a chip out just above the number 7.

The case is marked "Keystone Watch Case,  20 Years,  J. BOSS"  . The gold fill is worn through on the edge between 6 and 9 ( SW quadrant)). The loop or yoke that surrounds the stem winder is missing. The second hand is missing. There is no crystal.

The good news is the movement is beautiful, running, and keeps perfect time.  I would love to restore this fabulous watch but have too many projects so here is your opportunity to get a truly fine timepiece. I encourage questions.

Insurance is required for this item before it will be shipped.

 

NOTE: Domestic sales only - 50 US States.

ABOUT SHIPPING: US Postal Service Priority mail is generally used. I may require insurance for high value and/or fragile items otherwise, insurance is at the discretion of the buyer.
