1888 Illinois, key wind, lotta silver, big, heavy, railroad grade, old...

This from the Illinois “Blue Book” by Meggers and Ehrhardt. Page 99.

Adjusted for temperature, positions, isochronism. Jewels in settings. Gilt or gilt damaskened, blued screws. Start with S# 708101, end with S#1297050 (1888 to 1896). Grade 5, model 1, key wind, key set, patent regulator. RRG (railroad grade). Listed as 15-jewels, hunter cased model. Tested to position (TPI) but no mention is made of how many positions. 2,010 made in this grade. While the book lists this as a hunter case movement, being key wound and set, it would have been simple to fit it into an open faced case.

Just bought a beads of rice bracelet for my railtrack Constellation. I think the two pair quite nicely.

It gives the watch a great formal look 👍.

I didn't realize how comfortable these bracelets were until I tried one on a few days ago.
