Illinois Watch Company Advertising Sign, c.1900, 19 ⅜” x 9 ¼”
In addition to watches, I enjoy collecting original advertising pieces representing the American watch companies. This particular sign was provided to local jewelers by the Illinois Watch Company around the turn of the century to advertise their watches designed for railroad service.⠀
