Robert V. JonesCharlie don't be starting anything on these

Tom HuberRobert, The Elgin grade 348 is the HC version of the OF grade 349. The grade 349 met RR standards when it was built. I'm sure the 348 met these same standards and would have still been accepted by many railroads at the time it was built.

Robert V. JonesHere is and interesting BS in gorgeous 14k HC
September 27, 2007, 08:09
Robert V. JonesThese poor watches probably feel good to get out and breathe and tick a little after 25 years of confinement of a safe.
September 27, 2007, 08:10
Robert V. JonesLook at this case
September 27, 2007, 08:11
Robert V. JonesOk one more picked up a few of these
September 27, 2007, 08:36
Robert V. JonesQuestion am I reading it wrong or is this suppose to be a guilt movement according to serial number

Charles R. Sidesadd the early bunn, the interstate, and the HC 23j to my list.
The early bunn is listed as gilt finish. They certainly look nickel. Don't remember seeing a Bunn with that damaskeen pattern ... but I haven't seen them all.

love the balance cock engraving.
September 27, 2007, 16:48
Bernard LevineHi Robert,
In my opinion your Bunn Ser# 50138 is a a very
interesting find. Thanks for showing and
sharing the illustration.
I have a few questions I am hoping you
can answer and would appreciate any comments.
(1) can you tell if the watch has a male
winding arbor and is equipped with a short pivited setting lever?
(2) Can tell if the bridge,train , balance, barrel , and pillar plates are solid nickel
or nickel plated?
Thanks again for sharing your interesting find
Bernie Levine
(3) Could you describe the dial if it has one.
September 27, 2007, 20:02
Phillip SanchezAlright Rob, I missed that 992b while you were out messing around today. When are we going to see that Lord Elgin?

Ted CollinsRob.
Thanks for posting these outstanding pieces! Some of us out here in the hinterlands rarely get an opportunity to see such unique pieces.

Also appreciate your always congenial manner of posting. Hope I get the opportunity to meet you one of these days.

Robert V. JonesI appologize for sounding short and I always appreciate any input on watches as you all are very very helpful. I guess I just got overwhelmed with emails wanting to sell. Again I had it on my heart to appologize to all my friends here I always appreciate any input and that is the reason why I list them here. Thanks again

John "JP" PerezHey Rob,
I don't think you have anything to feel badly about, you answered my email promtly and your comments were very honest. They are your watches and if you decide to keep them or sell them that is up to you. Best of luck in your decision.
