Vintage Illinois 60 Hour Bunn Special 16s 23 Jewels Pocket Watch, 14K GF Case
Posted by in vintage
For your consideration is this original vintage Illinois 60 Hour Bunn Special pocket watch by the Springfield Watch Co. This is the Type III version of the watch, produced around 1929. It is a size 16 with 23 jewels. Lever set with 60 hr motor and 6 adjusted positions. True railroad grade pocket watch. Fantastic double sunk enamel dial. The dial is marked Illinois Bunn Special, and then marked 23 Jewel 60 Hour over the seconds dial. The dial is in EX condition with no chips or cracks. The crystal is celluloid or plastic and has yellowed a bit. Would benefit from a cleaning or would probably shine much brighter with a new piece of glass. The case is an Illinois Bunn Special Model #173 J Boss Keystone Watch Case. Marked as 14K Gold Filled. Two tone case with the covers being white gold and the main part being yellow gold filled. The movement is marked as serial No 5240307. Winds easily and keeps accurate time when I tested it for the full day before listing it. The movement is very clean and shows no wear or damage. The case shows some fine wear or light scratches on the back. Overall a very clean and nice working example of this very desirable pocket watch. Sells with no reserve! Don’t miss out on this one.
