    This was my uncle Ollie's retirement gift from the railroad. I believe this one is identical to the one Chevrolet issued in the mid 1920s. Spec:

    12 Size
    19 Jewels
    Adjusted to 5 positions
    Pendant Set
    Micrometer regulator

    The case was made for Illinois by the Wadsworth Watch Case Co., of Newport Ky.
