Job Number 220054

This movement is a Bunn Special railroad grade example made by the Illinois Watch Company. It's always nice to see one of these in good condition.

The movement wasn't running, but it started ticking when I took the cannon pinion off so I'll just let it run down on its own. Safer that way...
It is 18 size, 21 jewels, made about 1901.
There's quite a bit of extra decorative finish work on this movement, under the dial.

I ended up having to replace the cannon pinion for slipping. It had already been tightened pretty "aggressively", shall we say. The movement has a few miles on it for sure, but overall it's pretty solid and keeps good time.
