Antique 1887 Elgin 8s 18K Solid Gold Pocket Watch, Full Hunter Case, Fancy Dial
Posted by in antique
For your consideration is this original antique Elgin pocket watch in 18K gold case. Made in 1887, Model 1, Class 52, Size 8, 11 Jewels, Lever Set, 3/4 plate. Full hunter case with fancy engraving. Co with an 18 marking, along with a pseudo eagle hallmark. Very fine case and easily flexible. Fine engraving on both sides, the front has the name IDA in a shield. There is a tarnish on the front, it looks like a price tag had been affixed to that spot and the color is different from the rest. The back side is finely engraved and in excellent condition. The dial is marked Jacot Geneve and is heavily engraved with a bird at the center. The crystal is clear and all hands are present. The watch winds easily and does run, but seems to want to stop when moved around. It will likely need some small adjustments to be a nice runner. Including the movement, the watch weighs 56.7g on my gram scale. A great antique watch to add to any collection! This will be an excellent chance to own some rare and desirable items.
