"Bunn Special Dials"
Below are 4 dials used on Bunn Special's after the Hamilton take over (arrows-out). The "Flying J" was also offered, were there others?

This topic is not limited to the post-Illinois era dials, but "Bunn Specials" in general.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the genuine Illinios dial list.
I have a genuine Illinios dail:
Double sunk 16 size with word Illinios
in box car style lettering, arrows turned
in and regular non box car numerials.
I guess this is just an anomaly?

Would the monty dial above be correct for a 19j 60h bunn serial # 4838427 ? My guess is this dial is later than the movement.

Charlie,

For your 1926 movement you might want a bit earlier design which would also include the inward pointing arrows. And the good news is there are those of us who are willing to exchange dials. Big Grin

Yeah, fortunately (for me Smile ) I have a couple arrows-in dials. Thought the monty dial would dress it up a bit, but if the years are wrong, I'd rather be right than pretty. Well ... that's what I tell the wife.

Does anyone know the numbers of these, and other more, or less, valuable dials that were made?

What decision-making process did Illinois use for selecting dials to be made?

The dials listed as "Group A" 8177 SS enamel, and 8220 Silver Finish also comes in double sunk enamel. I have one and have never seen another....Robert

Robert,
Thanks for the additional information.

Jessica,
I have never seen any production numbers in print of the various Bunn Special dials, only estimates by our Bunn Special experts who have handled many over the years.

Hopefully someone will list the various Bunn Special dials and the order of their rarity!

Robert
