Even more unique is the original dial done with a red stippled or crackled background. I have never seen this unusual dial on any pocket watch. The hands are original as well and done in blued steel. This watch has a 17 jewel movement which is beautifully finished as well. Illinois was one of America's premier watch companies making high grade railroad watches...

This is a rare model by the legendary American House of Hamilton, from Lancaster Pennsylvania. This watch was presented in 1932 to the winner of an amateur Skeet Shooting Contest in 1932 in Dayton Ohio. It is in excellent original condition and is still fitted with an original period strap and buckle, however the strap is too fragile to wear all the time so we put a new lizard strap on it and the original buckle. The dial is done in Sterling Silver with Kiln Fired Enamel Printing on it. Only the finest Swiss watches like Patek Philippe...
