Here we have a very nice Rockford
18 size, 17 jewels, Grade 930 C & O Special for your
enjoyment!!! There were only 8770 of this model made and
I wonder how many had the C & O Special dial. The dial
is a double sunk porcelain dial with black Arabic
numbers, red five minute markers, and signed ‘C & O
Special”. It does have a faint HL at the 11 minute mark.
It has a full plate nickel movement marked in black
lettering “17 Jewels, Adjusted, C & O Special. It also
has very nice damaskeening. It comes mounted in a SB&B
Gold-filled B&B Royal Case with a locomotive engraved on
the back. The locomotive engraving has some wear to it.
This one will make a great carrying watch. SN 580690 Ca.
