A 1928 vintage Illinois Scepter Chrome watch with a patinated silver dial, and period correct leather braided strap. In 1928, a big change occurred at Illinois, as the company was sold to the Hamilton Watch Company after the death of president, Jacob Bunn Jr., shifting focus from pocketwatches to wristwatches. An incredible piece of history. (Store Inventory # 9796, listed at $1100).
