ILLINOIS "BUNN SPECIAL" 21 JEWEL GOLD FILLED CASE JUST FRESHLY SERVCIED  1923 

My dearest Darryl,

Every time I place an order with your fine company, I say to myself  "he can't beat the last purchase",

Well my friend you certainly have. This is by far the most accurate and clean piece I have bought from you in the last oh let's say 18 years.

In three weeks ...This Illinois Bunn Special is keeping perfect time and as mentioned in your write up "no flaws to be found" thus very true!

I am in awe of your craftsmanship and to fine detail.

A shame you never applied to Med School as your skills as an Horologist (to detail) would have brought awe to the Surgery field!

I will be back shortly.

My sincere regards

Dr Robertson , Spokane  Washington

P.S If ever your in the West coast Spokane area Sandra and I would love to take you to dinner as a token of friendship.
