Rare Illinois 16S 21 Jewel Grade 174-B 3FB Getty

Got this rare bird in. Only 80 21J Open face 174-B models were made. One of the first 3 Finger Bridge Getty Models, hence the name 174B?

JM Roberts dial, has ADJ engraved on side, not factory possibly done at Roberts? We'll never know.

Still a very rare 3FB Getty, nonetheless

Gary that just adds to it. Gotta love those 3FB Gettys! Jared has the King IMO, the damaskeening on that 185 of his is terrific!
