Hello, I recently inherited about 20 watches from my grandfather. Quite a few are Illinois Watches. I was wondering if one you you fine folks can give me some information about one of them. Its SN is 3991474.

All I have is my cell phone and its pictures came out horrible, I'll just post the face shot to give an overview. The winding shot didn't turn out well enough to be useful though. I'll try to post some this evening when I get home.

From a quick look, you have a 12 size grade 405 model 3 pendent set watch from 1922.

Steve,

Not real rare either as over 390,000 of them were made from 1911 through 1929. A time tested design however.
