This is an 18 size Illinois "Bunn Special" pocket watch with a whopping 24 jewels (as opposed to the 21 jewels found on most 18 size Bunn Specials). The watch is adjusted to temperature, isochronism and 5 positions. As with all railroad grade watches from this period, it's stem wind and lever set. The watch has a mint original "gothic" style double sunk railroad dial and is housed in a lovely and highly engraved solid 14k gold triple-hinged case. The serial number [1606050] dates it to about 1903.
