Illinois Grade 409 21 Jewel 12s Rare Hunting Case Pocket Watch
Posted by in illinois
12 size 21 jewel hunting case pendant-set Grade 409 pocket watch. A superb example of this very high quality grade, the 409 is quite rare in its hunting case version with a total production of only 400 made. Movement is a bridge model and is beautifully finished with gold jewel settings, gold balance screws, gold train wheels, striped pattern nickel damaskeen, and mirror finish steelwork. Watch is fronted by its correct double-sunk enamel dial and is housed in a beautifully engine turned and engraved 25 year gold-filled B&B “Favorite” case that appears likely its original. Movement serial number is 2596311. Running but hour and minute hands occasionally stop driving which suggests a likely loose cannon pinion. Beautiful movement with superb bright color and luster and just some typical scattered very small mild marks. Case is beautiful with crisp engine turning and engravign detail showing virtually no wear. Front of case opens a bit short of 90 degrees, and band of case has a ding or small dent with surface roughness at the 5:30 area toward its back side. Cuvette has some scratches to its perimeter from slipped past openings. Please check out my other items this week for more great watches and watch related items for sale.
