Illinois pocket watch innards

I was out detecting a new spot today and found the insides of an old pocket watch. When I say old, I mean old! It was manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company in 1883. Serial number 482536. I looked it up at http://www.thewatchguy.homestead.com...oisSerial.html Now I have a complete watch because earlier this year I found a pocket watch casing. Funny how things work out

Darn and I threw away the pieces I found!
