Illinois 16-size 21-jewel Bunn Special in a Two-tone Case

After the leadership change and subsequent renaming of the Springfield Watch Co, the decision was made to manufacture only higher-grade watches, meaning anything under 15-jewel was out, leaving the factory to concentrate on fully-jeweled watches and eventually becoming the only American watch company to offer 26-jewel watches as regular production grades. This fantastic 16-size original-combination Bunn Special was just thoroughly restored for its next steward, resetting the roller jewel and polishing the balance pivots. All of its jeweling is still present and intact, an increasingly rare thing; even the factory dust band is still there after a century of service. The correct arrows-in dial is snow-white with only a single light hairline at the 9-minute-mark behind a full set of plum spade-and-poker hands. It's housed in an unusual two-tone 25-year Philadelphia case with a yellow-gold frame and white-gold covers that shows a lifetime of service marks on the inside of the caseback, all appearing to be from the same careful watchmaker. It has a new beveled glass crystal and a blank shield. Matching lanyard and display stand included.
