These is the first of two watches I picked up on Ebay recently.

This is a Illinois 16S 15J OF LS S/N 1196780.

I just cleaned it up a little and she runs just fine

This is the second.
It too, is an Illinois.
12S 19J OF S/N 4650281 The face has some corrosion around the edges and the case shows normal wear and tear.

Any additional information on either of these would be appreciated. It seems that I have picked up the 'collecting' bug.

I have posted other pictures of the watch that got me hooked. It's my GGF Sangamo Special. Once I had it cleaned and repaired, I just could not be comfortable carrying it. So, I decided to but another one that didn't have all the sentimental value tied up in it.

Thanks

If it's too hard to make out, it says
10 Karat
Gold Fill
Wadsworth Quality

It's a bit scuffed, but I like it.
