Here is a link to 17 Jewel Bunn that I show only 90 where made. What are your thoughts. 5 STAR??? Serial # 50894
5 STAR

Would this be the correct dial also.

My info says 83 made but that it was a 17 jewel. Here is a photo from the listing.

It Sold at $106.00, I hope that is one of us that won it. Interesting this is that the #16 & #17 Jewels are for the 5th Pinion! The center wheel is un-jewelled.

Sorry Dave I forgot to mention I was the high bidder and anxiously waiting to get it.
I'll try to post some photos when it arrives disassembled and where the jewels are located.
Dave I did by a Columbus today that will make it easier to match you a whip lash up.

Finally Got this watch running. I still have to do a little fine tuning. The 16+ 17 Jewels are on the fifth pinion. The Dial shows it's age.

Nice work Gene,

A really important, actually fundamental part of this wonderful hobby is "saving" these important "dead-on-arrival" watches and breathing new life into them. Congratulations on this very worthwhile accomplishment my friend.
