I'll take 10 grade 410s for 60 bucks each.

See you in Aub Fred. Glen, John L and I are going to go to Mad Anthony's downtown for dinner and a brew tonight....and probably tomorrow night....come on down.

Were the 18s 24 jewel Bunn Specials discontinued at this point?

Laura:

According to Russell W Snyder's Illinois Data Base CD, which may be obtained by an email to Jon Hanson at jonontime@aol.com (you really ought to get a copy of this), the highest serial number of a 24-jewel, 18-size Bunn Special is 3,392,910 (about 1918) made for the Washington Watch Co. as LaFayette grade. The Bunn Special marked movements seem to go up to serial number 3,312,770 (also about 1918).

So, to specifically answer your question, the very last of the 24-jewel Bunn Specials were probably in the distribution pipeline and no longer being cataloged by Illinois in 1921.
