I need some help identifying the make model and date of a watch
Hi all, I could use some help with this one. Its causing me some difficulty as no where has the details listed.

Illinois Bunn Special - 23 Jewel Green Gold
Inside back case info - Model #173 7087350
Serial on movement is 5240974

It belonged to my grandfather and has its original retail box. I need to know more about it, but it has been very hard to find any information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thank you for the help. I have been trying very hard to find information on the watch and so far, this input is the most useful I've gotten. I will post a few pictures on this post in the next day or so. Again, thank you soooo much for the help!!
