Beautiful antique Elgin National Watch Co. 12-size open-face pocket watch featuring a classic white enamel dial with Roman numerals and a sunk seconds sub-dial. The blued spade hands retain their original character, and the nickel case has an honest aged appearance.
Movement is marked “Elgin Nat’l Watch Co. – USA” with Safety Pinion and ornate balance cock engraving. Serial number 8501187 dates it to around 1899. Watch winds and sets smoothly, but due to age it has not been tested for timekeeping and should be assumed to need service.
The watch is missing its back glass crystal, making it ideal for a collector, hobbyist, or watchmaker looking for a restoration project or parts.
Size: 12 size pocket watch
Dial: approx. 43mm
Case diameter (excluding crown): approx. 49mm
