following is from an elderly lady that worked at
the Illinois Watch Factory: She told me that those
dials and movements marked "Marine Special" were
actually a premium gift given to those people who
purchased a $10,000 Life Insurance policy from the
Marine Life Insurance Company, Springfield, IL.
Marine Life Insurance Company was started and
owned by Joseph Bunn Senior, former President of
the Illinois Watch Company and later his son,
Jospph Bunn Jr. who sold the Illinois Watch
Company to Hamilton Watch Company about 1927. I
have this watch in my small collection and can
verify what is on the dial and movement. DWC in
