I had an interesting watch come my way for an opinion, recently. I don’t see many of these, and I thought i’d show it here.
It’s a 16-size, Illinois, 21-jewel, Sangamo grade railroad standard watch with an unusual dial. The dial is a 24-hour, double-sunk, vitreous enamel, Montgomery style dial showing marginal minutes. Some might say this is a very “busy” dial, and I guess they’re right. The dial shows damage at the sub-dial, and a hairline or two, but it is reasonably good for a 110-year old watch…
