This is a 17 jewel Illinois Lakeshore, marked on both the dial & movement. I was wondering if anyone knew if this is named after the Lakeshore Railroad or what else Lakeshore might stand for?

Thanks for any comments.

An Illinois "Lakeshore" makes me think of "Indiana Dunes" State park, which (I hope) should be a National park, as it has the last "Virgin" stand of Jackpine in North America! In 1958-59 I helped a Forestery PhD candidate study that tree for two years before going to school, he was a smart guy, and I was a Star Scout weho could camp and cook in the wildrness, the rest is a looooong Story, and one that molded the rest of my life.
