Posted by in elgin
Elgin 18s 14K Box Hinge HC. 18 size 11 jewel hunting case lever-set pocket watch with beautiful 14K gold box hinge drum style hunting case. A very impressive gold case with a terrific engraving to its rear of a fancy home on an island at sea against a mountainous background. Watch is fronted by a fancy sunk-seconds enamel dial marked for retailer Rovelstad Brothers of Elgin, Illinois. Movement is gilt finish. Movement serial number is 2785855. Gross weight of complete watch is 87.8 dwt (136.6 grams). Gilt plates have some mild haze spots and some mild fine scratch striations likely from a past wiping. Dial has a good overall in hand look but with some patched chipping at the perimeter of its seconds-register, some hairlines and scratches around its seconds-register, and a small edge flake under the case bezel at 7. Case has a very strong in hand look and feel with excellent engraving detail. Please check out my other items this week for more great watches and watch related items for sale.
