Description
This is an Illinois DEVON GIFT SERIES model wristwatch. This is a very rare model that was produced by Illinois for the exclusive use of the Richter & Phillips Company based in Cincinnati, OH in 1928. I explain the purpose of the Gift Series watches in detail on pages 822 to 825 of my book set.
This watch has an excellent unpolished WGF case with a unique bezel and an excellent original dial. The inside of the case back is signed Gift Series.
Its 3/0 size, 17j movement is running fine and is guaranteed for one year plus ten days.
This watch is from the personal collection of famed Illinois collector Farrell Gay. I am selling it for the Gay family.
