Private label day!
The weather today is terrible. We are getting 25 to 30 mph winds and lake effect snows. So I decided it was a good day to do some watch work.
I reassembled an 18s Illinois that was ready to go. I replaced the fourth wheel, and the hands. I have to place it back into the case it came in and then time it. The Dial appears to have been the object of a dog's attention. But it is a local PL from Ilion, NY, about 7 miles away.



The second part of my attention went to this Getty mdl Illinois PL, R.E. Crawford, Amsterdam, NY, about 25 miles from me. It was very dirty and needs a mainspring and hands.
Anyone have a #47334 mainspring for it?



I have a nice Hamilton older model 974 movement, looking for a new set lever that also locks the stem in place. Also need a case with the stem for this model 974. This movement is in very nice condition and is a M.E. Lippitt from Cooperstown, NY.

I hope the weather where you are is nicer than here in upstate NY!
