Illinois " 186 " Wilson brothers "Click" to Login or Register

Hello all
here is my latest addition- Illinois Grade " 186 " marked- Also private labeled for Wilson Brothers, Boston- Comes from a run of # 80. This watch is listed in the Meggers book but only seen as 23 Jewel version- The 17 jewel run is right before the #80 run of 23 jewel ones.
Also still has the original dial. I would consider this one in the " Rare" category- I have not seen another like it.

Good snag Terry, I was watching this one but somehow got distracted and missed it, otherwise you would have had a bit more competition.

This one was in a group of 3 at a recent Jones/Horan auction- I bid on it there and didn't get it- then it showed up on ebay- So I made sure it ended up with me this time.

Jeez, I have to keep things straight, It was a Wilson's Best I was looking at.

One photo of the dial, roman numerals.
