This is an Illinois private label watch called "Burlington" circa 1923.
It's a small watch, about size 12, with a slightly angular shape that fits comfortably in your hand.
The 14K gold-plated case is beautifully engraved with plating and the gold is beautiful without peeling.
We hope this lovely antique watch will add some color to your day!
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swing is good and it is ticking and moving well.
