Description: Quite RARE 1925 Illinois "Guardsman" Secometer Seconds Timepiece in running condition. The overall condition on this 100 Yr Old Timepiece is exceptional for its originality and Rarity. With only 2 Services received in its Century timeframe any true Collector privileged to own this exquisite example of Horology History would immediately move to have her Inspected, Cleaned & Oiled without hesitation. This Timepiece has been in my Personal Collection for over 15 yrs so the next Caretaker can protect and care for her for many more years to come! NOTE; The Illinois Watch Company was one of the premier American watch manufactures. It was founded on December 23, 1870, in Springfield, Illinois by John C. Adams, John Whitfield Bun, and various additional financiers. Twenty years later, Jacob Bunn, Jr. took over and ran the company until his death in 1926. NOTE; Returns are Not accepted unless "Not as described." While I Do Not address timing accuracy on the Vintage Watches I sell, I do go to great lengths inspecting, researching and describing each timepiece to the best of my ability. Each and every timepiece I pass on is thoroughly wiped clean with a fresh Jewelers Cloth so as to remove any oils or contaminants from its surface. I shall wait 4 consecutive days for payment and if payment is not received on the 5th day I SHALL decide the Option of cancellation, Not eBay! Domestic shipping Only w/USPS First Class with signature required (3-5 business days from date of shipment); typically on day of initiated payout. Make sure to check out our other listings. If you have any questions, please let us know. Good Luck! :) Ps; * Buyer" be Aware of Unwelcome and malicious buying; Unwelcome and malicious buying: Foreign Buyers’ bidding on or buying items to deliberately circumvent a sellers' requirements; i.e. such as when a Foreign "Buyer" chooses to Deliberately Misrepresent their Address by using a U.S. Shipping Agency's address as their OWN personal address is in FACT an eBay Policy Violation when the "Seller" has expressed in writing (as I have done) that they; "DO NOT SELL outside the U.S, or Sell to Buyer's with a 5 or Less Feedback". A "Buyer" that is considering this approach is in Fact in Violation of unwelcome and malicious buying...
