Hello, Picked this up today. Could anyone give me a little info. Could not find much about on google. I know it is a 18s full hunter but that's about it. I would like to know the jewel count and year. If the it looks original (movement and dial)? Thanks for any info. I am starting to love these American pocket watches!

S/N 1092786 is an 18-size Model 2 from 1891. It has 15 jewels and a Chalmer's Patent regulator. The hunter case with lever setting is appropriate to this model, as is the double-sunk enamel dial.

Illinois made 5140 of these watches in 48 runs between 1887 and 1895. This one is from a run of 100 watches starting with 1092701.

Thanks for the info. The watch looks a lot better in person. I am new to pocket watches and trying to learn as much I can!
