Illinois 16s 21J, circa 1915
Model 5, A. Lincoln
Stem Wind, Lever Set
RAIL ROAD WATCH!
Chrome Screw Back & Bezel Case
Dial: The
dial on this highly collectable railroad watch looks excellent,
with just a couple of nearly invisible hair line cracks. This
original double sunk dial is signed "ILLINOIS". The
plum colored hands are in fine shape and are likely original!
Movement: This
Railroad grade movement is marked "A. LINCOLN, ILLINOIS WATCH
CO, SPRINGFIELD" in black filled engraving. It is also marked
"ADJUSTED FIVE POSITIONS", as well as "21 JEWELS".
It features a double roller escapement, expansion balance, ruby
jewels in gold screw down settings, gold timing screws and wheels,
and a patent micrometric regulator. It has been serviced and is
keeping excellent time! It is ready to be worn every day, or put
into your rail road collection.
Case: This
screw back and bezel case is in good condition, with just some
minor wear to the base metal and minor scuff due to normal pocket
wear. The front bezel and rear lid thread on and off properly.
The crown has very minor wear but is still very functional. The
bow was tightened when this watch was professionally serviced.
Crystal: The clear
glass crystal really makes the watch look great!

About 2 inches wide (approx 49 mm)
