The Illinois Grade 177 is another (like the 178) grade that I buy if I can find them at a reasonable price. It was also marked Ruby Jewel and is a Rail Road Grade watch that would of been accepted in Railroad Time Service at the time that it was produced. I collect these older Gettys because they where very low production unlike the Bunns and Bunn Specials that dominated after they started being produced. I feel that all the RRG Getty's are under-valued. Because of lack of knowledge about them.
And now on to the data base.
