Serial # 1632626

Movement looks to have a pretty cool pattern (bread basket/checker board?).

Crappy photo (sorry)

I "believe" IL made at least a 12s (17j or 19j) movement that was stamped "Time King"

Not a huge IL follower, so don't know much about the markings on the 18s

A bright and shiny 18s IL

Same pattern or ?

This one is "not" stamped 'Time King'

The s/n 1632626 "Time King" you picture is a 1904 Vin. Model 6, Grade 64 Lever set 18s Fully adjusted including Positions. Possibly RR Grade if needed. The Grade 64 was 80% private labels of many types and the Checkerboard Damaskeening could be either Gold/Nickel or plain Nickel.


The s/n 3393361 pictured is a 1918 Vin. Model 6, Grade 89 Lever set 18s Fully adjusted including 3 Positions only. This would probably not have been used as a RR watch.

David, thanks for information...

Did Illinois have many runs of the 18s stamped Time King?

Thanks
