Hey all. My cousin has an Illinois 12 size that I'd like to identify for her. It is "The Autocrat", serial number 4434325. Any info on this one? Thanks. Regards, Brad

I usually recommend the pocket watch database. But sometimes its a little off.

But the numbers for the info look right, except the adjustments. I like Autocrats. The signed cases are a plus and the movements are easy to work on.

Thanks Jim. This one is in a base metal Keystone case, with one of those crappy plastic replacement crystals that is beginning to turn yellow. The movement looks good, but the dial has those ugly age spots here and there. Regards, Brad

Those age spots are common. I think Illinois sold more 12s painted dials than ceramic. At least thats what it looks like to me from all those I have seen. Still the movement is a good one if taken care of.
