Here's a watch you folks might find interesting. It is a Illinois Bunn 18s
key wind made in 1874. It has a gilt movement with 15 jewels and is adjusted. The case is a coin silver pair case with a hidden key. The stem unscrews and is used to wind and set the time. As old as this watch is, it keeps great time. Thanks for looking.
