1890s Illinois Bunn Special railroad pocket watch, hunter case, 18-size, 24 jewel
Posted by in 1890s
1890s Illinois Bunn Special railroad pocket watch, hunter case, rare 18-size with 24 jewels. Beautiful and working perfectly. Heres a special one. And its all there: from famed Bunn Special movement to gin-clear crystal, pristine double-sunk porcelain face, pendant-set movement, and the beautiful gold-filled original hunter case. Just a wonderful watch in all ways. Made in the 1890s (Model 5, serial number 1357047), this fine historical watch is still working perfectly. Best of all, its 18-size and 24-jewels make it rare and desirable. The case does have a few tiny scratches and dings (like any vintage or antique railroad watch, please see the photos). But overall, it is indeed one sweet example, with stunning, fully-marked damasked movement, inset with ruby jewels. Push the stem and the gorgeous engraved hunter case opens crisply, revealing the near flawless face, Arabic numerals, Victorian spade hands, and the seconds sub-dial. Complete with antique burgundy display case, plus two carrying pouches, and an original vintage Illinois Watch Company trade-advertisement (which features this very same Bunn Special movement) suitable for framing. Whether you are a collector/investor, or presenting this historical pocketwatch as a gift, you will not be disappointed.
