Found at an estate sale, an 18size Illinois, s/n 1426036. Would anyone have any information about this watch (date of manufacture, etc)? Thanks

Hi Wayne,
The Illinois Encyclopedia compiled by the late Bill Meggers lists your Illinois 1426036 as follows...
18-size, lever-set, hunter-case, model 5, grade 51, from 1898 production.
Hope that helps,
Lindell

Hi Lindell, Thanks for the information - this watch was found at an estate sale here in the midwest - missing second hand & crystal, but running - cased in a Base Metal Open Faced case.
