A trusted mainstay in the Elgin line up of high-grade pocket watches and truly a testament to quality of this fine Grade 291 Movement. This Elgin Pocket Gentleman’s Pocket Watch is again a Size 16 with and has a 3/4-plate nickel silver 7 jewel movement in excellent condition, without corrosion or reckless jewelers tool marks. This Elgin Pocket Watch is truly a classic antique pocket watch, all-original and in excellent condition. I so hope the many pictures and extreme magnification helps in the description of this fine Elgin Pocket Watch.

This Art Deco Motif Elgin Dial is in excellent condition with the very popular and uncommon raised gold Arabic Numerals. The Elgin dial is a metal single sunk dial with the Elgin logo in in the center and the again desired raised gold Arabic numerals around the outer circumference. Then we have a recessed sub register for the second hand, all in excellent condition. The dial is highlighted with the original custom Diamond Cross Bar Blued Steel Hands, this classic Elgin Pocket Watch shows beautifully.

This extra fine Elgin Grade 291 Movement is again in just pristine. The 7-jewel movement has beautifully damasked nickel plates, adjusted to 3 positions with a micro regulator, gold balance weights, gold center wheel and it pendant set and stem wound. This fine Elgin Grade 291 is housed in this Illinois Case Company classic railroad case Model the Spartan Case, the case functions just as it should and faces up beautifully. The only issues with this pocket watch is the case, it shows wear to the metal on the rear cover; the pocket watch shows far better than the magnified pictures indicate, or I would not offer this or sale. This Art Deco Elgin Pocket Watch is an excellent timekeeper ready for daily wear or a wonderful addition to any collection.

This is another excellent example of the late 18th early 19th Century ingenuity that made the American Pocket Watch a worldwide standard for accuracy and beauty in timekeeping.
