Pocket Watch: Antique Elgin Pocket Watch 1908

The watch has a grade 294 seven jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 13,144,500 which dates it back to 1908. The watch measures 57mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop so larger than a standard 50mm watch. The case is stamped as being silveroid, an alloy often used in watch cases around this time and it came under various names such as Silverore and Silverine. The case design is quite unusual in that the screw-on case back and opening to access the movement is quite a lot smaller than the case. The case is in lovely condition. The glass lens is in lovely condition. The signed dial is in very nice condition too with blued steel hands, sunken subsidiary seconds dial and both Arabic and Roman numerals. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
