Illinois A Lincoln 21 Jewel 16s Beautiful Hunting Case Railroad Pocket Watch
16 size 21 jewel hunting case lever-set A. Beautiful example of this scarce hunting case railroad grade watch. Movement is nicely finished with gold jewel settings, gold balance screws, gold center wheel, and striped pattern nickel damaskeen. Watch is fronted by its correct double-sunk enamel dial and is housed in a beautifully engraved 25 year gold-filled Wadsworth Pilot case that appears likely its original and has a detailed house scene on both front and rear. Small shield at lower front of case is engraved with initials. Movement serial number is 2430133 which dates this watch to about 1912. Running and a very nice looking movement with excellent color and luster. Train bridge has some fine abrasion between the 3rd wheel and 4th wheel jewel settings. Dial is very near perfect with only a few mild fine glaze scratches. Case is beautiful with crisp engraving detail but does have a ding or small dent just below center of the front lid.
