16s Burlington Special 19 jewel Sterling Silver hunter

16s Burlington Special 19 jewel Sterling Silver hunter

Beautiful 16s sterling silver full hunter made by Illinois Watch Co. in 1909.

Burlington Watch Co. is actually a branding name used by Illinois for some of their models This one is a 3 finger bridge type grade 185 with 19 jewels a semi capped Swiss lever escapement with double roller, sapphire pallets and gold timing screws. It also features a micro-regulator, and gold jewel settings.

The watch is running super strong and is keeping really good time to within a few seconds per day. There is some evident staining on the movement but as it is running so well I am reluctant to strip it simply to improve the cosmetics. See the photos and make up your own mind.

The watch is crown wind but lever set (Withdraw the small lever by the 5 and rotate the crown to set the time) both functions working smoothly.

Stunningly beautiful sterling silver case is in lovely condition throughout. There are a couple of minor dings to both front and rear covers but all of the detailing is crisp and sharp. All of the hinges are good as all 3 covers open and replace easily, the lift spring is good as the front pops open to 90 degrees and stays there. It's a lovely case.

I can find no faults with the double sunk white enamel dial, and similarly a very clean set of blued steel hands under a very good acrylic crystal.

 

Overall a very handsome silver hunter with a quality movement performing perfectly.
