John Williams was president of the First National bank of Springfield. William B. Miller was a local merchant. John B. Bunn, who along with his brother owned a grocery business, The company produced its first watch in 1872 named the "Stuart" after the company's founder. The company manufactured many lines of watches with varying quality, under different names, all being Illinois. The early models were Key wind and Key set and is quite collectible today. They later produced an extensive line of extremely fine and accurate "Railroad Quality" watches like the "Bunn Special"In 1879 the company, due to financial difficulties, was reorganized and the name changed to the Springfield Illinois Watch Company.By 1885 the company name was changed yet again to the Illinois Watch Company. In the late 20's the Hamilton Watch Company purchased it. The Illinois factory continued to produce watches for Hamilton until 1932 (the year the last true Illinois was made). From 1933 to 1939 Hamilton produced "Illinois" watches in Hamilton Factories. Some of these watches were not cased and sold until upwards of a decade later. # International bidder you are agreeing to the following when you place a bid with us. # International bidders UPS signature delivery is the only delivery option # We are not responsible for delays or costs due to your country's customs. # Most countries charge some form of customs duties, taxes, VAT, or brokerage fees on items being shipped from the USA. # You are responsible to know what your country's importing rules and taxes state. # We declare all items for the winning bid amount. # We will not risk our ability to do business by falsifying any portion of the customs documents. # Please do not ask us to break the law by falsifying customs documents. # Declared value coverage or insurance is required on all international purchases. # We reserve the right to notify eBay and State and Federal authorities if we are requested to falsify federal documents. # If you wish your item sent to a colleague with a US address we are of course willing to do so. # Please note that shipping insurance is NOT available to all countries.
