A solid and attractive example of early 20th-century private label timekeeping, this Illinois Burlington Special Pocket Watch was manufactured in 1906 and features the less common “Getty” model layout. With 15 jewels, a lever-set movement, and a classic side-winder configuration in a hunting case, it blends historic charm with practical functionality. The watch is running strong and has been fitted with a new old stock glass crystal, while the painted dial—though a replacement—presents in near mint condition.
