Beautiful watches, Samuel....

Good Luck....

Jerry

Thanks everyone especially Tom!
Any ideas on why the one is marked 60 twice?

Samuel, do you have photos of the case the Bunn Special is in....I just checked the Bunn database and this one's serial number is not listed and we should probably add it, and I was wondering if it was in a Wadsworth case...?

Here is the link to our data base....

Bunn Special Marked Factory Wadsworth Case Database

You will notice that in 1926 there is one very close to this one in numbers, it's number is 4756035, just 11 from yours....

Regards,

Jerry

I can see the pictures in Firefox. The twice-marked 60-hour 21-jewel Bunn Special is correct. It's a Type II, the least common of 3 variants.


Best Regards,

Ed
