Edward L. Parsons, Jr.16S 17J Bunn 2nd Variant
Here's a 16S 17-jewel Model 9 Bunn grade (movement #2736667, circa 1915) I picked up this morning. A nice hinged YGF case, a very pretty movement, and just a small flake on the dial which I think Lin's magic can cure.This watch is the second variant of the 16 size 17-jewel Bunn (TP=2200) discussed in Steve Middlesworth's article The Bunn Story ... Part One at the top of this forum. Moreover, this is the "screws up" sub-variant, which has the top balance jewel screws pointing upward.
