<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 842409, member: 25&quot;]Is the name on the dial &#039;Illinois&#039; ?. Is there something on the back? </p><p>It appears to date from about 1910-1920, it is probably a 7 to 15 jewel lever escapement, the case is cupro-nickel and it has one unusual feature, it is a &#039;sidewinder&#039; inasmuch as the winding stem is set by the three on the dial instead of the more normal twelve. </p><p>This is common for hunters and half hunters but yours is open faced and shows no sign of a missing front cover.</p><p><br /></p><p>The back probably has a small nick or indentation at the edge to insert a knife blade to pop the back off. Caution is advised, use a blunt knife, and sliding the blade around the back works better than brute force.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
