Description :

Grade was named after William B. Miller, a Springfield businessman and one of the (Illinois) Springfield Watch Company's founding directors.

All are 18 size gilt movements.

About 21,450 total produced between 1872 and 1889.

Lowest serial number is 301, highest serial number is 330000.

Made in models 1, 2, and 3

Third highest quality of the 1870's era Illinois Watch Company grades.

Behind the "Stuart" and "Bunn", but ahead of the "Dean", "Currier", "Columbia", Grade 2, Grade 101, "Hoyt", Grade 1, "Bates", "America", "Diurnal", "Mason", "SWCo." and "Interior"

Imitation jewel settings on many, an interesting cost cutting decision for an otherwise decent quality watch

About 80% of Miller production were marked "Adjusted", those not marked are mostly at the early end and include the earliest runs
