I found this on my third day and just got around to photographing it. From what I can read of the serial # it appears to be a 1945 Elgin Pocket watch. If one of the numbers is wrong, it could be 1899, but I doubt that - the outer ring looks more 1945-ish judging from other pics of Elgin watches.

Anyway, I love this find!!

HH!!:wow:

Possibly; I do know through research that they were one of the first companies to mass-produce parts instead of having every mechanism be handmade. This lowered their price considerably and made it possible to repair them. Because of that there are a lot of very old ones still in possession today as collectables.

I just found all this info on some website about them.
