Tom Brown17S Illinois Sangamo Special
Just thought I would post a couple of photos of this Sangamo Special I put back together.
It looks pretty neat to me but it a kind of put together watch.
The movement is all original & all the numbers on every part from the barrel cover to the balance wheel match. But when I got it, it had a metal Illinois dial & a snap on bezel case.
I put the dial & case I had bought a while back that were on a Burlington movement.
It is running great with an error rate of 0.8 seconds a week.
It is serial number 4166371 which shows it as made in 1923, there were 4 runs with 6100 total made.
The dial seems to fit well for it not being a 17s dial & I was surprised that it fit in the case.

Tom BrownThis is the dial without the bezel, I noticed the second hand is a tad too long.
