Eugene BuffardIllinois Grade 178 do you have any?
I just bought this on the bay. It is a Illinois grade 178 very rare. Does any one have any.
I have no idea why there are extra holes in the plate. But as rare as it is. I'll live with it.

Eugene BuffardI'll take this one apart. Clean and oil it and post some photo of the back side where the holes are.
These watch have a lot extra dameskeeping. I'll take photos of that also.

Harry J. Hyaduck Sr.Super nice guys! I did not see grade 178 in the price guide so I went to the pocket watch data base and I don't know how accurate it is but it says only 150 made and you guys have four of the 150. Way to go guys!

Eugene BuffardI was hoping for a few more of them to pop out of the safes or safe deposits boxes.
I would like to get a few more to surface to get a data base started.

Harry J. Hyaduck Sr.That is a really scarce model! Well you have four you might as well start the data base.
