I have this quite nice ole dial

Actually it's grown quite attached to an 18sz Bunn 17RubyJeweled Wavy Ribbon 2nd Pattern HC from 1900

The question I am posing, is of the dial, of which I have seen one other like this and it was also on a HC model.

As you see it has the 5 minute outside markers. However this one and the one other I am talking about, the 5 minute markers are in BLACK Making it a two color only dial. ALL the rest I can recall seeing the 5 minute markers were in RED.

What might you be able to inform us of the BLACK vs. RED markers, please

Buster,

An interesting dial.....you would almost always expect to see that Old English style hallmark associated with the gothic numbers and red 5 minute markers. Very interesting.

The Illinois 17j Bunn models came with the gothic dial with black 5 minute markers one quite a few of them. I think I have three or four bunn 17j with the gothic dial and black 5 minute markers. The 19j and higher seem to all have the red 5 minute markers. I'm sure there are some that have been mixed between the lower and higher bunn grades over the years too.

Thank you Steve & Jared
