Produced around 1928, this Elgin "B.W. Raymond" Pocket Watch reflects the enduring precision and craftsmanship of one of America's most trusted railroad timekeepers. With 21 jewels, a lever-set open face movement, and the added functionality of a wind indicator, this piece was engineered for reliability on the rails. It is getting harder and harder to find gold filled cases with no wear down to the brass these days! Its classic nickel finish, matched hands, and robust design make it a compelling acquisition for collectors and railroad enthusiasts!
