Plymouth Watch Co. (Illinois) "Click" to Login or Register

Just picked this watch up from a local coin show. I think all original watch with the Dial marked with the Plymouth Watch Co. USA and the Movement with the same markings. This is a 16 size 17 jewel hunter grade 175 made 1905. As I scan the Illinois Encyclopedia it seam that only just over 1,000 of these were made with the Plymouth marking. The grade 175 watch was made in small quanity runs. This grade watch has the same plate configuration as the Interstate Chronometer with different damaskeening pattern.

Welcome to any comments.

Thanks

Hi David

Sorry, I should have posted the serial above. The serial number is 1809420 which is from a run of only 200 (1809401-1809600).

Regards
Keith

That is a really cool and interesting finish on those plates.
