Rick FarmerDonna, your watch, movement serial#5172325
- 16 size Illinois Bunn Special Type 3, 60 hour
- Production year 1929
- 21 jewel
- model 14, open face
- lever set
-3/4 plate
- total production, 119,200
- adjusted 6 positions
Trend value- dealer price $325, Extra fine condition $500, mint condition $700
The 181 refers to the case model only, not the watch movement. I'm not sure but I believe the 181 case model may add a bit more value as it is not so common as others.
Perhaps other more knowledgeable member will chime in and confirm.
Regards
Rick

Eugene BuffardDonna your photos do Not show the back of the case. This is where the gold might be worn off. Please post a photo of the back of the case.
Value is based on condition.
