I just acquired this 18s Illinois key wind Mod 1, Grade 6 dating from 1886 & just fell in love with this dial. I have never seen one like it before. Has anyone? What say you.... Best, Jim

I love RN 24-hour dials. That's a spectacular example Jim.

I was JUST looking at this dial the other night! Sorry to say it was in a book

However, it was in Meggers/Ehrhardt's Illinois Watch Book, page 96. Of this dial it says, "The Rarer of the Two Twenty-four Hour Sunk Seconds Enamel Dials used on the "NO.4 Railroader" Grade."

How you did these things up, Jim, is a mystery to all! Beautiful dial!

Great dial, Jim -

Columbus has the same dial: same font, same 24hr intersected Arabic/Roman numeral scheme.

Hello, I have that same dial if anyone out there is looking for one let know its for sale.

Hello Chuck - I would be interested in your dial. Please reply to <fermenthaus@shaw.ca> Desmond Lundy

Hello all my #4 dial has sold many thanks for all the interest!
Chuck

Mike is right about the railroader grade being the movement for this dial. They are beautiful dials. I have the dial on an early keywound 18s Bunn and thought it might have been a Canadian market thing but it could just be a replacement.
