Illinois Question

[testguy]

My favorite 23J Sangamo Special is the one my wife gave me for our 30th Anniversary. It is serial no. 2575963 with a 24 hr. Canadian Montgomery railroad dial. What model is this watch, and approx. how many were made?

According to the Illinois Database on CD by Dr Russ Snyder (which is still available), SN 2575963 should be a 16s, Model 9, Lever Set, OF, 23J, Sangamo Special from about 1913. There were a total of 5 runs between 1913 and 1915. The total production was 1,710.
Quite a find!
