This Illinois Sangamo Special RR grade watch was made in about 1925. I believe it to be a 17 size and to be an unmarked 60 hour motor barrel. It is in it’s original case. The dial is silvered metal and I believe it could also be original as I’ve read that these Sangamo Specials could be ordered with such. These dials are – I think – less common that enamel ones. The hands have some bends. The crystal is glass – it can come out when you open the front cover – though it doesn’t always. The movement is lever set. The watch winds, sets and runs well. I will check the timekeeping the next day or so. The case has some wear to the 14k gold filling – most noticeable on the pendant and bow but also around some of the edges of the covers and case. The back cover has a very small mark or indent near the center. The hinges are good and the covers open and close as they should. Running about 30sec fast a day so likely wants a clean/oil.
