RAIL ROAD WATCH!

Gold Filled Screw Back Case

According to the latest Illinois research, there were only 300 of this type of Bunn pocket watch made! Don't miss your chance to own one of only 300 ever produced!

Dial:  The dial on this highly collectable railroad dial is in excellent condition, with just a couple of very light eyelash hairlines, as seen in the photo. This original double sunk dial is signed "ILLINOIS". The plum colored spade type railroad hands are in good shape with some discoloration, but appear to be original.

Movement:  This Railroad grade movement is marked "BUNN, ILLINOIS WATCH CO, SPRINGFIELD" in red filled engraving. It is also marked "ADJUSTED TEMP AND FIVE POSITIONS", as well as "JEWELED BARREL, 19 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. There were only 300 of this Bunn variant ever produced! 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 great condition with lots of life left! There are signs of light use, including light pocket wear, and some minor wear to the brass on the case. Remember, this watch was made for the railroads, and was probably used daily. The front bezel and rear lid thread on and off properly. The crown has very minor wear but is still very functional. The worn bow was tightened when this watch was professionally serviced.

Crystal: The brilliant new old stock clear glass crystal really makes the watch look great!
