Excellent find! If you can get the back open you might be able to find out the manufacturer, serial number and date of mfr!

i opened it and it has alot of writing on it... ill sacn it in......u like it?

Awesome! If you can write all that info. down, run a search on Ebay, and see if you can find a similar watch by the same manufacturer, with similar serial number to get an idea what style it was and what it would have looked like with the hands. You should also be able to get close to a manufacture date that way. Good luck!

Here's a link to an antique pocket watch service. They even service the 60 hour Bunn Special, Illinois Watch, the model you found. Of course a restoration might not be possible, but they might be able to date it precisely for you. HH
