Can someone look an Illinois in there Illinois book. I can not find my Illinois book it is packed away. Was a 16sz illinois Getty 21 jewel grade 175. rail road grade. I know that there where 1650 made. but what does the Illinois book show as price also. Thank you up front.

In my book it shows a 21 jewel grade 175 open face at $60-90.

The Price Guide shows ALL 21 Jewel Getty's are worth $200-$350.00 today. Also, it Stipulates the Grade 175 as 2 star rare $500.00-$800 with a RR inspector's name on it. (odd distinction )

The Illinois record file shows there were 1360 Grade 175 made (TOTAL) in 8 runs from 1908-1911.

The movements were highly styled plates with very fine Gold Inlaid (2-Tone) Damaskeened patterns and Marked; "Illinois Watch Co, Springfield, USA . . . 21 Jewels Adjusted Temperature, Position, Isochronism Safety Pinion"

The second run (360 PC's) s/n 2061131-2061490 were the much sought after "Pennsylvania Special" movements worth $1000-$1500.

If I were to clean, time and restore your watch, I would insure it for $600.00 on the return shipment to you.
