• 1911 ILLINOIS WATCH CO. A.
  1911 ILLINOIS WATCH CO. A. LINCOLN POCKET WATCHFeatured in this lot is this 1911 Illinois A. Lincoln pocket watch made by the Illinois Watch Company, set in a Fahys Montauk 10k gold filled watch. John C. Adams and a number of other investors established the Illinois Watch Company in 1870. The Illinois Watch Company, originally known as the Springfield Watch Company, underwent reorganization in 1872 and changed its name. They were among the first American watchmakers to use the Waltham Watch Company's revolutionary interchangeable parts system. This facilitated repairs and enabled more effective production. The "Bunn Special" watch's introduction in 1879 was one significant innovation. The Bunn Special, known for its accuracy and dependability, rose to become one of the most well-known and respected railroad watches. It was produced in a variety of models with various features and grades, and it was given the vice president of the company, Charles H. Bunn, as its name. The Great Depression and the emergence of wristwatches presented difficulties for the Illinois Watch Company. The business made an attempt to enter the wristwatch market but found it difficult to compete with Swiss producers who were able to make more reasonably priced and precise wristwatches. The watch industry was also severely affected by the 1930s economic downturn, which ultimately resulted in the Illinois Watch Company's closure in 1928. The serial number inscribed alongside the movement is numbered, "2342219" showing that it was made in 1911. The pocket watch is a grade A. Lincoln, 21 jewel, size 16s, model 5 and features a nickel movement finish with a pinstripe finish and a 3/4 plate. The watch is railroad graded and is in working order. The case is a Fahys Montauk 10K gold-filled, first introduced in February 1898, with the serial number reading, "764447". Joseph Fahys & Co is a watchmaker. During the latter part of the 19th century, the company was the largest manufacturer of gold and silver watch cases in the USA. The watch shows good overall condition with some slight wear to the case but no obvious signs of damage are present. The watch measures 1 15/16" in diameter and 2 5/16" in height. The pocket watch weighs 84.2 grams.

The watch sits in a Keystone nickel alloy case with the serial number reading, "760291". Under Hagstoz & Thorpe's ownership, the Keystone Watch Case factory opened its doors in 1880. Prior to that, the business produced gold-filled cases under the "J. Boss" brand and patent. The new factory was initially constructed to produce gold and silver cases in order to separate production of gold-filled cases. When the factory first opened in 1880, these cases were identified with the Keystone symbol. The gold-filled company run by Hagstoz & Thrope was eventually absorbed by the Keystone Watch Case Company, which resulted in the creation of the Keystone Watch Case Company and the Keystone trademark on all cases.
