This is a very special size 16 21 jewel Illinois pocket watch.

Adjusted to three positions, grade 826.

Serial number 3661804 dates this watch to 1921

Lever set and stem wind.

This movement was just serviced, is running strong and keeping RR time.

The case is extraordinary Keystone gold filled case. 

The crystal is new old stock beveled glass and the back is nicely engraved, without a monogram.

I will sell this watch in a standard Burlington two plates of solid gold with either a plain back or a back with Mason symbols engraved. I have both of these cases in stock.

The dial is a bold double sunk model with two very minor chip repairs and a faint hairline between 11 and 12 and between 3 and 4. None of these flaws are visible to the naked eye, at least not mine.

Be sure about which case you want before purchasing, if you select the Burlington I will e-mail you before shipping to find out if you want the plain back or Masonic engraving.

This vintage pocket watch is12 size (case diameter 45 mm) and has 17 jewels. The movement is in nice condition and is marked Adjusted, has the patent micrometer regulator, and has a gold train.

The movement was just serviced and is running strong.

The crystal is new old stock glass.

The dial is a two tone striped brushed gold, I believe original to this watch and in good condition.

The case is a white base metal that has been electroplated with pure coin gold. If you are familiar with white base metals than you know that generally speaking they cannot be gold plated. 

After years of trial and errors we have developed a process to gold plate nearly all white metal cases. This requires a multiple step process with the last step being electroplating in an 18K plating solution using a pure (coin grade) gold anode.
