single sunk Arabic numeral dial is signed Illinois. It appears to
be a factory replacement. It has quite a few surface marks, as seen
in the photos below. The thick cobalt blue spade hands are in excellent
condition!
Movement: The
nickel damaskeened movement is in excellent condition! This is one
of the more desireable "Getty" models, with only one exposed
winding wheel. It features an expansion balance, patent micro-regulator,
and 15 jewels in screw down settings! It has been professionally
cleaned and oiled and is keeping good time!
Case: The hinged
back and snap bezel gold filled case is in great condition! There
are some signs of use, including some very minor wear, but none
of the brass base metal appears to be showing. The front bezel snaps
on and off properly. The back cover snaps open and closed properly
as well. The fancy bow and crown are in excelletn shape as well.
Crystal: Nice
clear glass crystal looks in nearly new condition!
