Case... is a YGF RR Case. In good clean condition, with a beautifully engraved back. Nice crown and Bow. Glass Crystal.

Dial... is original...a double sunk Illinois bold Gothic type dial! These are very tough to find. One lite line between 12 and 1. Beautiful Gothic Illinois dial.

Movement... is one of Illinois' rarest...the 23J Bunn Special marked "Illinois Watch Co" on bottom plate. Fully marked as stated above. The movement is in excellent condition, "sun ray" damaskeening and gold lettering still standing out nicely. Running well, I timed this for 24 hrs and it doesn't need a thing. Times really well!
Folks, these have gone up ever since I've been in this, and continue to do so, (Top book is $1200, and that doesn't account this rare last run model.) so take advantage of this wholesale pricing while you can! They'll just get more expensive, especially this model marked Illinois Watch Co. with only 1,000 total production. If you've been after one of these for your collection, here's one of the finer examples left. 23 Jewel Six Position Bunn Special with a Gothic Montgomery Dial!......$789.00

Hamilton Watch Co. bought out Illinois in 1928, and continued to manufacture Illinois watches first in Springfield, IL, then later at the main plant in Lancaster, PA. I hope you can appreciate the significance of this fine timepiece. After this no more were ever to be manufactured again. Folks, this is a very nice example of the 21J Sixty Hour 161A. These are about gone from the marketplace, especially nicer examples such as these, no one wants to sell anything this nice, and consequently prices have continued to go up on nice ones like this. If you're wanting one of these for your collection, this would make an excellent choice. These Illinois mfg. by Hamilton are very special watches, sure to keep increasing in value over the years. You'll be awhile finding another this nice, this rare, and at this low price! (top book is $1700.00 on these, not taking into account that tough to find dial)
