Steve Middlesworth23 jewel 18 size Bunn Special
Well here is my latest addition to my collection which just came back from Chris Abell. He replaced the crystal, crown, and incorrect screw that was holding the balance cock down. He also cleaned it and it is keeping very good time over the last couple of days. This is the variant of which only 1000 were made and it really looks and runs great. Nice locomotive engraving on the back of the case.

Tom BrownNice watch Steven. I think me & you will eventually be biding against each other for these Bunns. I have always like Illinois watches more than the others for some reason & then the Bunn ontop of that.
So far I have just bought pocket watches with no thought involved as to collecting something. Well the other day I thought I guess I am going to try to just get Bunns & I immediately thought of you & then thought I wonder if I will have any luck with you out there.
I would like you opinion of the 161 Type II I posted yesterday.
