Clocks, Watches - Illinois Pocket Watch

Expert: Melvin Mills - 7/9/2009

Question
Thank you for your first response. The number on the watch is 4292780. It also says Illionois Stewart Special 17 jewels.

Answer
Evelyn,

Using the table at

http://www.pocketwatchsite.com/illinoisserials.html

the date of your watch is 1923.

A 17 jewel movement is still a good movement, even by today's standards.

Illinois watches are very collectible.

Kind regards,

Melvin
