Peter, Here are some Burlingtyons I have done. The left on is a Getty with hands that are slightly different from the two in the middle which are the traditional "Plum Color" Illinois Hands, the right hand has a sort of Deco Dial that was equipped with moon hands. I just finished restoring another with a Gold Matte Finish Metal Dial, "Radium Numbers and Radium Filled Skeleton Hands. So take your pick . . .

Thanks Dave.
My was having gold matte finish dial but the dial was in bad shape so I put getty one on and the hands did not match hour was radium and minute
hand was like the one in the middle two.
So my question is Illinois size 16 hands should fit just fine.
I have the radium dial and hour hand and will trade for good hands Smile

Here is mine with what sounds like the dial your had to begin with. Mine is the 21j bridge movement, either 3 or 4 from L-R in Dave's pictures.

This is a "Quick Pic" of the Matte Gold Dialed Burlington I just finished. I put in Triangle hands until I find a skeleton Minute hand to match the hour hand. Then International dial can put the "radium" glow stuff back in the hands and Hour Numerals.
