You are looking at a Vintage Illinois Watch Co 'Bunn' Pocket Watch.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PLACING A BID:

This watch is preowned. It is in good condition overall, but there is some cosmetic wear from age and use. I have taken photos from every angle to try to represent it accurately; PLEASE view every photo. It is not currently running. I am not the original owner, I am only selling it. I do believe I have the correct information below, but please double check things for yourself as I am not an expert in watches like these. I will list everything I know about it below.

Specifics:

Brand: Illinois Watch Co
Year: Based on a serial number search, this was made between 1900-1905.
Size is shown with a tape measure in photos
17 Ruby Jewels
It weighed 114 grams on my postal scale (does not measure tenths)
Blue toned dials (see photos #6-7, specifically), but please note some of the color has rubbed/worn off, especially on the lower dial
Silver toned Philadelphia Watch Case Co. case
Marked/engraved/stamped on the back of the watch: 17 Ruby Jewels, Adjusted, #1564717, Bunn, Springfield Ill. (#6572 is stamped on the inner ring--see photo #17)
Marked/engraved/stamped on the inside of the case: Philadelphia Watch Case Co, Silverode, #956572. There also appear to be some numbers/letters etched in from the previous owner.
The case is in three pieces. The middle part seems to be secured to the watch itself, but I am not certain of that. I didn't want to damage it, so I didn't want to try to force the watch out. The top piece with the glass and the bottom solid piece both screw to the middle piece. Once they are screwed closed, both pieces do stay securely closed (not loose in any way and no gaps--see photo #24 of it completely closed back up.)
The wheel pictured in photo #16 does have movement in both directions. It turns both ways when you move the watch around, but again, the watch is currently not running.

I have done my best to describe and list all I know about this pocket watch. I know items like this can be subjective, so again--please view all photos carefully and confirm specifics or unknowns for yourself before placing a bid. Please feel free to ask any additional questions! I am here to help. Over the next few days, I will be listing several pocket watches. Please view my other listings!

I ship quickly and with care to protect my items, Monday through Friday, during business hours.
