1925-A 16 size, open face pocket watch by Illinois Watch Co. Stem wind, lever set. The double-sunk white enamel dial, which is lightly crazed and has a small chip by the lever, bears bold black arabic numerals in the hour chapter, and black hash marks in the outer chapter ring. The seconds dial bears black arabic numerals in 10-second intervals and hash marks. The hands are blued (a deep purple color): spade and whip. The face is marked "Illinois". The front bezel and rear case screw off, and the cases are decorated with a Greek square-spiral motif. The rear case cover is faintly engraved "Pete Neal". The interior of the rear case cover and cuvet are both marked "Navco/ Security/ 10 Karat/ Gold Filled/ Railroad Model/ Pat Appl`d For". The 3/4 plate 21 jewel movement is nickel plated, damaskeened, and inscribed "Bunn Special/ Illinois Watch Co./ Springfield/ Adjusted/ Temp. And/ Six/ Positions/ 21 Jewels/ Double Roller". This watch movement has been serviced and runs well, with all original parts and a gold train. The serial number, 4564760, dates the watch to 1925. Some edges of the case are worn, revealing light bare patches, and the areas of the case onto which the cuvet and case covers fit are dinged and scuffed. HKA#64599
