Just got this Illinois Watch Co. token in. It is supposed to be undated but has the date 1882 counterstamped on the clock side. Kinda neat. Bill.

    Listed in Rulau's as #11 Sp 9 - undated - white metal - size 28 MM...Neat token with date stamp... it kind of reminds me of Smiths Clock Establishment HTT.

    Notice the reverse says "STEM WIND"? At one time pocket watches had to be wound with a key and the newer stem wind watches were considered a new and inovative feature.
