Thanks Gene,

Very cool Cool set of watches!

It will be interesting to see if any other variants come forward.

That total produced of "2,150" number would actually be far less for each variant as that is an estimated total for all "5 Positions" Open-Face marked and unmarked as 187 variants combined. And then when the Illinois Watch Co signature being on some but not others is factored the number for each of these would be further reduced. On pages 136-137 of his "Illinois Watch Co." book Bill Meggers explains additional detail, from his observations the variants shown here are noteworthy.

Perhaps one day there will be enough examples found so that you could break-down the number for each variant further, but without question these are each far less common than the total produced would imply.

And the beat goes on...

Lindell
