1880's Pocket watch trade sign.
Here is my newest FIND.

It is an 1880s ish. Pocket watch trade sign.

It was fixed up about 20-30 years ago. When some one put the Illinois letters on it.

Supposedly it can from a store in Chicago area.

It weights about 32 lbs. I think I have a chain for it. And old logging chain.

It is 28.5 inches tall. The dial is 14 inches in diameter. It looks like it had some clock TYPE hands on it at one time.
