Description

Offered for sale is an antique Illinois (USA) Sangamo Special 16-size open-faced pocket watch, circa 1905.  This watch features a genuine Illinois (by Wadsworth) 14K white gold filled screw back and bezel Sangamo Special rigid-bow case, a 21-jewel adjusted stem-wind lever-set model 5 movement, and a double-sunk white porcelain dial with black numerals and blue steel spade hands.  The case shows signs of normal pocket carry and some very light brassing on the underside of the bow.  The caseback has an engine turned design along with a blank cartouche.
