Your watch is a Illinois Watch Company "Bates", key-wind, 7 jewel, circa. 1878. The American Watch Company case paper is not original with this movement. The movement was possibly recased or the movement was sold seperately and then cased by a jewler. This cannot be determined without close examination in person. Do not loose or seperate this case paper as it might be oringinal to the case.
Values avg. ex. fine mint
$80 $100 $200
