IHC Member 155 Bulova Watchmaker |
In checking out this watch I stated to ask some questions of my pocket watch friends. Facts: as I know them Serial number 3399388 and all matches Marked: "Illinois Stewart Special" 16 Size hunter Model 6 Grade 806 Lever set Gold train Raised settings Gold washed screws and whip spring Adjusted 3 positions Double roller According to the late William Meggers on page 142 of his Illinois Encyclopedia only 270 of 806 grade 19 jewel hunter-case movements were made. Many more, in fact 37,290 of the 21 jewel open face were produced. He also says these were pendent set but this one is clearly lever set. Mr. Meggers also says he had not seen one. Perhaps they were available in both lever set and pendent set or they were all lever set and that fact was unknown at the time. Anybody have one to share or any insights or just comments.
