Illinois 19 Jewel “Wolverine” Conversion Cr. 1915 This watch is a rare Illinois private label “Wolverine” factory conversion. Manufactured in 1915 by the Illinois Watch Company of Springfield,Illinois and features a 19 Jewel movement adjusted to 3 positions, with a double roller and micrometric regulator, gold train and gold jewel settings. The movement, a 16 size grade 305, also shows a good example of Illinois use of multi color toning and damascening, and private label marking (“Wolverine”). The watch was updated, most likely by Illinois at a later date from a hunter case to an open face style, and has a factory metal painted conversion dial, and a later model railroad #128 case. The case is a 10K gold filled Keystone Victory and shows no brassing. The dial is clean, save for some very minor spots. The hands are blued steel, and correct for an Illinois. The crystal is glass, and has no scratches. Overall the watch is in excellent running condition and would make a fine addition to any fine railroad collection. Graded very good as per TimeZone grading parameters. You won't find this rare watch on eBay. $375 Questions?
