Illinois Dial is it a Repo or legit

[steve_s]

So I have collected a few watches with no specific method but now I would like to get into more "correct" or "original" watches. In looking and researching Illinois watches I quite often find this type of dial but can't find anything in documentation as to it's existence as a legitimate Illinois dial.
So is this type of dial a reproduction or real? I attached a small picture of part of a dial that shows enough for a knowledgeable individual to recognize.

WE need a better view than what you are showing. Most Reproduction dials are Painted metal of slick surfaced spray on epoxy and are fairly oblivious.
I can see the sunk from what a regular dial would have the sunken part of the inter dial, but you need to unscrew the bezel and take a full view shot of the dial because you left out the most important part of the the dial, The SIGNATURE.

I don't have a better picture. I had never seen an Illinois dial in any of the literature I had seen that had those half-moons at the hour positions. I had only seen diamonds or triangles (in and out).

Just do a simple eBay search........................

I did find the dial in a 1927 Illinois dial catalog. No. 111
Sorry for the bother

No bother, we are here to help.......

Keep in mind, some dials are only appropriate for certain grade movements.
Have seen a BUNCH of Red Dot (red ball) dials on Bunn Special movements..

The dials imaged here, and the red ball were for mid-grade movements....

Yes, that was going to be part of my question. I had seen the dial described in my first post on a Sangamo and didn't think it was the correct dial and the catalog confirmed that.

If on a Getty Model Sangamo, yes a big red flag... as the Getty Sangamo dial foot pattern is different from later model 9, etc movements....
