161A w/Original Hamilton Case. 16 size 21 jewel open face lever-set Bunn Special Grade 161A 60 Hour Elinvar pocket watch. The notable feature of this example is its rare original Hamilton factory casing in a 2-tone gold-filled and stainless steel No. 13″ bar-over-crown case with “Hamilton Railroad marked crown. Original examples of the 161A with this case were finished in 1948 and represent pieces from the final output of 161A movements. This final 161A output is noted in Hamilton records as 809 examples that were finished in 1948 and fitted with 992B style balance wheels and white colored “Elinvar Extra” hairsprings. Some, if not all, of these 809 examples were then paired with the distinctive sunk-seconds enamel dial as seen on this example, and were housed in Hamilton No. 13 cases or Hamilton Model 12 cases to be distributed to Hamilton retailers. Correct original examples of these watches can by identified by their appropriate Hamilton cases that show only the case screw marks at Illinois 161A case screw positions, by their 992B style balances and hairsprings, by the presence of this distinctive dial, and by their movement and case serial numbers falling in line with other known examples. Good intact examples of these watches are very tough to find due both to their relatively low original production and to their accelerated attrition in more recent decades caused by examples that fell into the hands of collectors and dealers that didn’t understand their originality and split them apart to recase into Bunn Special signed cases. Movement serial number of this example is 5592765. Running but balance motion is somewhat sluggish and I think likely movement has not seen a cleaning and oiling in many years. Nice looking movement overall with excellent color and luster. Inner edge of barrel bridge has some abrasion adjacent regulator adjustment screw position. Winding wheels and regulator assembly have mild oxide. Dial is virtually flawless with only a few infinitesimal pinpoint edge nicks under the case bezel. Case is very nice overall with a strong in hand look and feel but with some typical mild dings and scratches, and perimeter lip of case rear has some small waviness to its contour suggesting possibly a past opening attempt with a tool.

THANK YOU for considering our sparkling clean, dead accurate and hard charging Illinois Grade 161A Type IIP 60-hour Elinvar. Here are the details. 5,577,169, circa 1932, 16 size, open face, 21 jewels, Model 15, Grade Bunn Special 60-hr. Type IIP Elinvar, adjusted to temperature and 6 positions, double roller, 60-hour Motor Barrel, raised gold jewel settings, full gold train, gold balance screws, Reed regulator, ¾ nickel plate, stem wind, lever set railroad-grade movement. If you’re in the market for a popular and sensible watch investment, this is your ticket. This fine 60-hour model is in superb working order, with an excellent balance motion that is flat, true, wide-arced and strong-running. The movement is a smooth wind, starts right up with a single flick of the wrist (typical 60-hour style), and lever sets as designed. The movement holds time well within 30 seconds per week face-up after years of prolonged and careful hand-regulating. In the appearance department this Model 15 60-hour Bunn Special is looking most excellent, with bright, 100% tarnish-free and clean winding wheels and clean nickel plates that show off the distinctive Illinois Model 15 circular damascene pattern, spotless clean and correct Reed regulator apparata, 99% of the engraving black paint intact adds real big-time value! , clean looking inside as well as out, and ripping and running holding railroad time! Dial : Illinois “Blindman Monty” style, 16 size, open face, double sunk enamel reproduction, ultra bold black Blindman Arabic numerals with surrounding Montgomery Patented “arrows-out” red five-minute-markers and black minute-markers, correct for all 161As! This dial is in perfect condition, with nary a trace of any hairlines, chips, cracks, chaffing, stains or scratches!!! Hands : Original finish (not doctored up aftermarket) RR-bold blue matching spade hour and pointer minute hands, correct for all 1930s Illinois railroad-grades and in near mint condition, with practically all of the factory original bluing still intact! Case : Illinois “Bunn Special Model” #108, 16 size, open face, Wadsworth 10K smooth Deco style yellow gold fill, slot right, screw-back-and-bezel, fancy dress or more likely railroad case! Here’s Illinois’ Depression-era Model 108, with a wide, mirror-image conserved back framed by the classic triple-circled Art Deco pattern, a thick railroad-approved neck, wide, wind-able crown, and distinctively designed arching engraved bow! This much sought after #108 Deco case is in fully serviceable condition. I have restored and detailed this case right down to the threads so you get the best looking and working case possible! The back and bezel thread up easily, screw on and off smoothly, and both seat tight. The matching original crown’s fluting is still ultra well defined for a tight, sure grip, and it turns freely but, by design, does not extract, so only a lever-set e. Bunn Special movement will work inside. The bow is also its correct original engraved style, shows zero brass or damage, and holds tight to all positions. The crystal is a brand-new, newly installed thick beveled mineral glass model and clear as can be. The case does show exceptionally minimal wear, including very faint and even carrying wear, zero doodlings, no marrings either, zero repair notations even, just a touch of brass around portions of the exposed edge of the back and a small amount of the frame on the left, and certifiably no sign of any dents, dings, dimples or depressions!! I’ve owned this fine timepiece for 20-odd years and it has always run accurately and consistently a real pleasure to own!! Please examine each photo carefully for further details, as the photos control over this written description. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The large print giveth and the small print taketh away!

The movement is a smooth wind, starts right up on a dime with no jiggling, and lever sets as designed. The watch holds excellent time but has not been further regulated or adjusted. In the appearance department this 60-hour Bunn Special is looking most excellent, with bright, almost 100% tarnish-free winding wheels with none of the usual scratching around the barrel wheel screws, clean plates that show off the intense and distinctive Illinois Model 15 damaskeening pattern, clean and correct regulator apparata, absolutely 100% of the engraving paint intact adds real big-time value! , clean looking inside as well as out, and ripping and running strong and true! Dial : Near mint condition big bold Montgomery Patented railroad dial, double sunk enamel and correct for a 48-hour Sangamo Special and in near factory perfect condition. It is clean and fine all the way around except for one short, totally faint little hairline in the outer chapter only at “10″ and one micro nick. That’s completely it for damage that I can see with a loupe!! Hands : XXXF condition original factory finish plum matching whip style fancy and fine. These stylish yet railroad-ready hands are in near mint condition with almost 100% of the original plum finish still intact! Case : Illinois First Model “Bunn Special Model” 16 size, open face, Wadsworth highest grade 10K yellow gold fill, slot right, screw-back-and-bezel, fancy dress or more likely railroad case! Here’s Illinois’ first and most popular railroad-approved case in excellent overall condition, with the smooth field in back framed by handsome linked-loop patterns around the edge of the bezel and back, a thick neck, wide, wind-able crown, and distinctively designed layer-cake bow! This super looking condition case is in fully serviceable condition. I have restored and detailed this case right down to the threads so you get the best looking and working case possible! The back and bezel thread up easily, screw on and off smoothly, and both seat tight. The matching original crown’s fluting is worn but still defined enough for a tight, sure grip, and it turns freely but, by design, does not extract, so only a lever-set e. Bunn Special movement will work inside. The bow is also its correct original, shows brassing but no damage, and holds tight to positions. The crystal is a very thick, high-domed beveled glass model with no distracting issues whatsoever. The case does show very minimal wear, including evenly distributed pocket wear, zero marrings, zero doodlings, brass at the usual places, and no appreciable dents, dings, dimples or depressions!
