MIRROR MINT CONDITION ILLINOIS FIRST “BUNN SPECIAL MODEL” 16 SIZE RAILROAD-APPROVED CASE, WADSWORTH 10K YELLOW GOLD FILL SCREWBACK IN TOTAL COLLECTOR-INVESTOR GRADE CONDITION! THANK YOU for considering our mirror-image mint and fine condition Illinois First Model “Bunn Special Model” 16 size, open face, Wadsworth 10K yellow gold fill, slot right, screw-back-and-bezel, fancy dress or more likely railroad case! Here’s Illinois’ First Model in superlative condition, with a perfect mirror image reflecting off the wide smooth back, a thick neck, wide, wind-able crown, and distinctively designed layer cake bow! This value-adding and highly prized 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 practically like-new in sharpness 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 double stacked design, shows zero brass or damage, and swings loose. The crystal is a thick beveled mineral glass model and clear as still fresh water with no issues. This fine case fits all standard-featured lever-set-ONLY movements. The case does show exceptionally minimal wear, including nothing beyond the most unavoidable superficial scratches, zero marrings or doodlings, zero brass anywhere in its firmament, and certifiably and absolutely no sign of any dents, dings, dimples or depressions. This classic First Model Illinois railroad case is just about as clean and like-new looking as possible none of the brass ring around the high exposed edge, or around the base, or even the bow!! 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! No questions asked, just return it well re-packaged and in the same condition in which received. A picture truly tells 1000 words and the photos here control over any written description. I try my best to describe each item accurately but can miss things, so evaluate the photos carefully because they tell the whole story. Please bear in mind that these items are used and old , and may not always be 100% original or even complete. We do not end auctions early and do not offer Second Chance offers ever. Our mailing days are Monday through Saturday. If you don’t like the item, return it. The item “MIRROR-MINT ILLINOIS BUNN SPECIAL FIRST MODEL 16S 10K YGF RR CASE WEAR-FREE” is in sale since Monday, November 28, 2016.
