Springfield Watch Co. was founded in 1869 in Springfield, Illinois, largely through the efforts of JC Adams, by looking the first time in 1872. The first directors are JT Stuart, William Miller, John Williams, George Black, George Bunn and John Passfield.
company changed its name several times and eventually became the Illinois Watch Co. He made his first nickel movement in 1879, with its first look mainspring in 1882. Illinois has used many names in his movements, and collectors find items such as "Benjamin Franklin", "Army and Navy", "Baltimore and Ohio RR," Chesapeake & Ohio "," Comet "," Commodore Perry, "" George Washington, "" Stuart "(which was the name of the first movement of the company did)," Adams Street "," Mason "," Bunn "or, as is the case today to watch, "Bunn Special."
the size of this watch probably 16. It has 23 jewels, adjusted temperature and six positions, motor barrel, 60 hours and it seems to be a model 163A. It has a serial number 5456916, indicating that it was manufactured around 1931. It was after the Illinois Watch Co. was sold to the Hamilton Watch Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which took place in 1927.
the question may be asked whether you're looking rails. And that's a good question. begin to see these so-called major disaster began with a train that occurred April 19, 1891, when engineer shows defective caused two trains to collide near Cleveland, Ohio, and injured 11.
After this event, a commission was created to establish guidelines for the timing of universal standards for all railways. shows rail itself was required to meet accuracy standards that were in place during certain look that was made. This is certainly looking rail style, with a clock very well, but if it meets the technical requirements is unclear.
We have not seen the inside of a screw-cap that covers the back of the room, but we are convinced that this is the case look especially white gold filled and not "solid gold watch." This is open face look fat and black lettering in the style of rail, and a second circular dial.
Illinois Watch Co. 's 163A Bunn Special, 23 jewels, 16 size pocket swiss replica watches are highly desirable for collectors and not cheap. We have seen examples of retail for less than $ 4,200, depending on the situation.
Pocket watch collectors can be picky, and "watch virgin mint" is new in the box factory. "Near Mint" has weak marks that can be seen only with jeweler's loupe - not to the naked eye - and "extra fine" it looks like look has been very little used.
We believe that the watch in question today is worth at least $ 3,000 to $ 3,500 for insurance purposes, but jo needs to consult a professional to be sure.
