Description

Color: Brown; Gold An Illinois man's wrist watch, 1928. The case is somewhat like a tank style, though it has slightly curved top and bottom sections and the metal work is a gold color. There is a second dial at the left, where the 9 o'clock number would be. The brand name "ILLINOIS" is just below the "12" at the top of the face. The band is a brown leather with six holes and gold sections for the clasp. With scratches and soiling on the face, scratches on the metal, some tarnish, and brittleness on the band, the overall condition is fair.
