Pocket Watch : Antique 1927 Illinois Pocket Watch and Chain

The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement which is working nicely. 19 jewels, 3 adjustments, swan neck regulator and screw-set jewels. The movement is signed Illinois Watch Company, Springfield and it has the serial number 4,965,204 which dates it back to 1927. The watch measures 44mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 14kt gold filled and it is in lovely condition, as is the glass lens. The signed dial is in its original finish with original blued steel hands, and interesting subsidiary seconds dial with matching hand. There is light marking across the dial but all very acceptable for such an early piece. The watch comes with a single chain, 34cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The watch and chain come in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
