What movement would this dial have come off of?

What movement would this dial have come off of?
Here is a 16 size dial that I acquired. Is it possible to find out who the Illinois Jewelry Co. was? Also, I thought it was an Illinois dial but the feet are at 19, 36, and 55 minutes. Doesn't seem to match up with an Illinois movement. It appears to be porcelain and the second sink is not a separate piece, it is a flat dial. Any one care to take a guess as to what watch this may have come off of?

I have been looking for info on the company but no luck yet.

The dial feet might match Trenton 19.0-36.0-55.0, Ingersoll same & Elgin 19.2-36.0-54.7

If you want to know models for those let me know.

Steve, Those are Ingersol/Trenton Dial feet positions, and I have a couple that are the "Illinois watch Co." which I expect is part of that same deal. This movement is at my shop and I used it for you to compare the feet positions.

Dave and Tom,

Thanks for the info, I think you have hit the nail on the head. Since it doesn't fit an Illinois I guess I will take and sell it.
