ILLINOIS GOTHIC DIAL QUESTION.
Hi, i came across a nice 24j s18 illinois bunn special, but it didnt have a gothic dial,
it just had a regular double sunk dial. Should it have a gothic dial?
Does not having the gothic dial reduce its value a great deal?
Thank you,

The late Edward Parsons Jr. put together for us in our Illinois Watch Forum, 3 pages of facts regarding the 18sz Illinois Bunn/Bunn Special watches. Here is the helpful click-able link;

The Bunn Special 24 Jewel watches were produced from 1895 until 1919. The dials used in those 24 years would be the Bold Gothic Arabic Numerals in Old English in 4 variants & The Fancy Roman Numeral dials in Script.
