| This is a circa 1914 factory advertisement for the 18 size 21 and 23 jewel Bunn Specials. As you can see, these watches were advertised to be available in both hunting and open face. The fact is, that at the time of this ad, the last hunters were being made. In fact, very few hunters were ever made in the Bunn Special grades, as compared to open face. Even before the regulations mandated it, most railroad men prefered the easy, trouble free use of an open face watch. | |||||||||

This is the typical, factory marked version of the model 5, "third gold inlaid circle pattern" watch, which is featured in this site. The cut-away of the barrel bridge and the unique regulator tell you it is a hunter. Around 3,100 of this movement were made, including quite a few private labels. It is the private labels which interest me. Please advance to the the next page or click on the "double roller" buttons above to see a few examples. |
