1923 Illinois Burlington 16S 21J 107 Railroad Grade Montgomery Dial Train Case. This watch will look better in your hand than it does in the pics. Officially listed in it’s day as’Limited Railroad Grade’, this classification apparently meant it was approved in some states, but not others. This one appears to be all original, though it’s hard to tell, as they were often cased and re-cased through multiple servicing. This one in cased in a rugged,’Emperor’ Star Watch Case Co. Railroad case and looks quite good. The movement is fairly described as’crisp’… It’s signed’Burlington Watch Co. Chicago”Adjusted to Temperature and Positions”Double Roller’ and 21 Jewels’. Serial number is’4188617′, dating it to approx. Screw set jewels and micrometric regulator are some of the finer features. There is some plate ware to the case and normal surface scratches and a small ding or 2, but generally the case is in good shape, with smooth thread on the front bezel allowing easy access to the lever set mechanism. This watch keeps good time, as expected, and winds, sets and runs strong, though I have no idea when it was last serviced. The double sunk porcelain dial has a sub second hand at 6 o’clock and is signed’Burlington’. The dial is in good shape, with only a couple of minor hairline cracks, but no chips and the hands appear original and crisp. It features large Arabic indices and the very desirable Montgomery detailed indices around the perimeter. I’m offering this watch at a BIN price below market, as well as opening it to offers. This is very attractive example of a classic American railroad timepiece… A fine addition to any collect, or a great regular user…. You won’t be disappointed!
