Bunn Special Illinois pocket watch

[Beachkid23]

2 weeks ago went to an estate sale on a Wednesday morning. Not much for jewelry, which I prefer to buy. They had some fossil watches, a pocket watch and a household of randoms. Spent $160 total. Got 2 antique coffee grinders, broken fountain pen that sold on ebay for $80, tin photos, misc smalls for my booth and the pocket watch. My watch guy was In love when he opened it. Wanted to share. Not sure of a value yet but its a beauty.

And how does a 60 hr dial work? Or read?

Wow what a gorgeous movement. I don’t think I have ever seen engraving like that. And on another note what broken fountain pen would you get $80 for?

 

[Rookster]

Very nice. Good job.

Not sure what it be valued at? I believe the 16sz railroad watches are more sought after by collectors, but who can really say what someone would be willing to pay for it?. It's very nice find.
