Jerry KingPrivate Label Illinois????
Just picked up a size 4 necklace watch for my daughter which needs a little work and will be going to Leon shortly....
The dial says 'Illinois' but not the movement which is labeled AA Cruttenden & Co., De Moines, Iowa....
Any help with info on this one will be appreciated....
A few photos will follow....
Regards,
Jerry

Jared BrinkerJerry-
I'm from about an hour from des moines. I have not run into that private label for Des Moines, so may be a little unique. Illinois, hamilton, rockford and south bend competed big time in the area for business, so lots of private labels for all four in the area.
Thanks,
Jared
