Brief History: Illinois Watch Company. The Illinois Springfield Watch Company was organized in 1869 primarily through the efforts of J. The first company Directors were J. Miller, John Williams, John W. Bunn, George Black and George Passfield. John Stuart was a Springfield lawyer and former partner of Abraham Lincoln. John Williams was president of the First National bank of Springfield. Miller was a local merchant. Bunn owned a grocery business. Though the first movements were produced in 1872, the company really didn’t achieve full production until 1875. By serial number, the first watch made was the “Stuart” model, followed in order by the “Mason, ” Bunn, ” “Miller, ” and finally the “Currier. The first stem-wind watch was produced in 1875. The early Illinois models were key-wound and key-set and are quite collectible today. Illinois later produced an extensive line of extremely fine and accurate Railroad-grade pocket watches like the “Sangamo Special, ” “Bunn Special” and “Santa Fe Special” (just to name a few). Illinois: A Great American Watch Since 1870. In 1879, due to financial difficulties, the company was reorganized and the name changed to the Illinois Springfield Watch Company. By 1885 the company name was changed yet again to the Illinois Watch Company. Hamilton continued producing Illinois watches in the Hamilton factory until 1939. There is some question as to whether Burlington was actually a subsidiary of Illinois. Watches produced under the Burlington name include some very fine (including some railroad grade) watches, which are nearly identical to Illinois movements. Illinois also produced watches for the Plymouth Watch Company (Sears Roebuck) and the Washington Watch Company (Montgomery Ward). Illinois Watch Case Company.

An extremely rare pair of adorable, velvet Steiff Treff bloodhounds c. Made in a sitting position with jointed heads, Baby Treff still has her earbutton with scrap of stock tag, while Mummy Treff only has two ear slits where her missing button was positioned. Being larger, at 15 cms (6) high, she has the distinctive Treff’droopy-eye’ design, whereby her back-painted glass eyes are embedded in sockets and surrounded by velvet eyelids. Steiff actually patented this slanting, half-covered construction, and also used a similar design for their Jocko chimp. In the distant past, her original hand-embroidered nose has had some extra stitches added, but her embedded glass eyes are both oriignal, though one has been re-attached at some point. There’s a little wear to her sockets/eyelids, but her neck joint works fine. Stuffed with a mix of woodwool and kapok, Mummy Treff’s beige velvet plush is in lovely condition, with minimal wear and just a couple of small repairs. It’s taken on a pale greenish hue over the years, mostly to her muzzle, but isn’t actually as green as it appears in my photos. She has a teasing red airbrushed mouth, and faint muzzle’freckles’, along with endearingly-long floppy ears. Overall, Mummy is amazingly well-preserved for her age. Originally, Treffs wore large pastel-coloured ribbons, but Mummy now has a posh leopard-print velvet collar with bell, same as her Baby. Baby Treff sits 10 cms (4) high and is all original with the Steiff button under her floppy ear. She has amber back-painted glass eyes and a black-emboidered nose. Her neck joint has stiffened up over time, and can no longer be swivelled due to the fragility of her velvet plush at the back, which has been secured with stitching (see pic). Generally, much of her velvet naP has worn away, and shows some patchy discolouration. Also, the internal wire in one of her hind legs is showing through her foot by way of a tiny hole. However, despite Baby Treff’s wear and tear, she remains in reasonably good condition and on the whole is a sturdy, and very cute, little character. These lovable, iconic Steiff dogs travel with their Treff embroidered cushion. The item “MEGA RARE EARLY VELVET STEIFF TREFF BLOODHOUNDS ADORABLE” is in sale since Wednesday, October 3, 2018.
