Uncommon 21-Jewel Bunn Special Hunter

A few weeks ago Robert Smothers bought a 1918 production Illinois 21-Jewel Bunn Special Hunter, number 3347885 from Mike Chamelin. The movement, long ago separated from its original case had been placed in a marked Illinois Display Case for safe-keeping.

Robert asked me if I thought we could find an appropriate case. The images that follow are my way of answering his question.

OK, just because you wanted a closer look...

Every detail looks good, even the bow and crown...

So, would you say we found an appropriate case?

WOW!!!....Nice job Lindell..The donor case makes this watch complete. I know Mike Chamelin will approve. This is one case of sending a watch to an early grave to save another that makes sense to me. Lindell I can't thank you enough....Robert
