then you should know about how european media has not been allowed to report on diversity for years <| sep |> Hey rwatches , This pocket watch is a family heirloom that I have been fascinated by since I was young . I am a lurker and occasional poster here so I figured it was time to post this . It is an Illinois that I believe was given as a gift to my grandmother by her mother . It is not currently running , so I am curious about where I would get something like this serviced and how much that would cost ? By most accounts it is in beautiful shape , and opening it up yielded pretty good results as it doesn ' t look damaged . Any insights on this piece would be greatly appreciated e . g . Circa ? Model # or history about Illinois watch co would be helpful . Hope you all enjoy the photos . Thanks .
