The Illinois is a 16 size, Model 7, Grade 303. It dates from about 1918 or later. This model was produced from about 1911 to 1920. The case looks original to the watch. It is the right period and shows no other case screw marks that indicates that the case has been switched. The case would have been chosen by the customer at the time he chose the movement and joined by the jeweler at the time of sale.
Enjoy the watch, but be sure to have it cleaned and overhauled by someone familiar with vintage watches if you are going to run it. It should be cleaned about every 3-5 years if used.
