Hello, And Thank You
For Taking The Time To Look At Our Listing!


Just As A Note, The Watch Is Running Fine, Keeping Good Time, And Should Provide Many More Years Of Excellent Service!!

The Dial is Double Sunk, has Big, Black, easy to read Arabic Numerals with the Minutes in Red. The Dial is in Excellent condition with Illinois Watch Co. written in the center. Although the pictures may hint at the watch being Gold in color, it's color is actually Silver.


The Hands are Lever Set by pulling out the lever shown (between the numerals 1 & 2) and then turning the crown, until the hands are in the proper position.


The covers fit together so well, that any space between the covers is almost imperceptible!
All the details are sharp & crisp!


21J, Lever-Set by 1:30, 6 Adjustments (plus Temperature & Isochronism), Gold Jewel Settings, Gold Train (the Price Guide does not list this Model as having a Gold Train. So its definitely an EXTRA and will make the watch increase in value much faster than other Models without one!), Double Roller, Nickel Plates, Whip Lash Regulator & Wavy Ribbon Damaskeening


The movement is marked;
SANGAMO, Illinois Watch Co., Springfield.


The Balance Wheel has such great speed that it's simply a blur, even at the speed the camera catches it at!


On the right hand side of the movement, is the circle stamp, which says "Double Roller".


The inside of the back of the Case is marked Philadelphia Watch Co. and Silverode, along with the marks of the Tradesmen who have worked on it over the years.


The back case is in excellent condition with only some minor scuff marks from normal use over the last 95 years of its life.


Well, that's all I can say. The Photos will tell you what you really want to know about the watch anyway, at least that's what I focus on first!

The price for this piece is $525.00


This Pocket Watch would make a very nice gift to that special someone, even if that "special someone" is you and your own collection!!
