Illinois Bunn Special 163 23J Railroad Pocket Watch With Model 29 Case RUNS
Posted by in illinois
This is an excellent pocket watch from an estate collection. It is 16 size, open face, stem wind, lever set, 23 jewels, 60 hours, marked 163. Movement #5334499 date from 1930. It runs strong and keeps time. I have not had it serviced, so I cannot guarantee it to be perfectly reliable timekeeper. The plates are superb. They are scratch free, and do not suffer from abuse or overcleaning. Much nicer that usual! The yellow gold filled case is a marked Bunn Special model 29. It is very nice, with no dents, brassing, or engraving. The porcelain double-sunk dial is also very nice. When I hold it to the light I can see one fine, very faint hairline by the 1 on the top track. It is not readily noticeable and difficult to see. Otherwise, no chips, damage, or hairlines on this wonderful dial. Nice blued steel railroad hands, excellent glass crystal. A fine example of a scarce model 163 Illinois railroad.
