Here is an Illinois Grade 187 Getty I just bought on eBay.

Nice looking movement. But I wonder when mankind is going to learn how to use screwdrivers properly?

John

Eugene,
Nice getty movement but great picture of getty.
Tony

Not only nice but EXCEPTIONALLY rare Getty Grade 187 (unmarked) 6 position adjusted, Lever set, 1 of 1500 EVER made. This UNMARKED example is TOO RARE to be mentioned in the Price Guide.

I am guessing $400.00 in a good "original" case.

Thanks David. I did notice the screwdriver slips that some one did on this movement. But I picked it up for $234. well worth overlooking the screwdriver scratches. I own about 3 or 4 of these 187 Gettys.

Here is the LINK.

Eugene-

I saw this when it first came on and passed on it. I'm just happy its going to a good home.
