Manufacturer: Elgin Manufacturer Location: Elgin, Illinois Movement Serial Number: 5753243 Model: 5 Estimated Production Year: 1895 Size: 18s Jewels: 11 Movement Configuration: Open Face Movement Finish: Gilt Movement Setting: Pendant
Movement: Movement has been serviced, including a new main spring. It is keeping time within about +/-2 minutes per day.
Case: About 60 mm (2-3/8 inches) wide, this hinged, swing-out nickel case has wear but is in good shape overall. It does have nicks and scuffs consistent with a pocket watch of its age. The bow and crown are in great shape too! The glass crystal does have a small pit but it is not bad enough to warrant replacing.
Dial: While not having any hairlines, there are some blemishes near the 1 hour mark. Otherwise this single sunk Roman numeral dial is in excellent condition!. Beautifully matched hands, as seen in photos!
A great opportunity for anyone looking for an authentic old west pocket watch, made in America!
