Up for your consideration is this Antique 18 K Solid Gold Elgin Fancy Case Pocket Watch. I believe it is a size 4 American movement, I have only just learned the sizing so I measured the movement with a E & J Swigart rule, if something on this size sounds incorrect let me know. Front marked: Elgin Marked inside lst back cover marked: W. Co, Warranted 18K U. Assay 38308 Marked inside 2nd back cover 38308 Movement marked: Elgin Natl’ Watch Co, 2790385, Safety Pinion This watch winds and starts right up. Runs strong and I would not know if it keeps correct time. I couldn’t pull up to wind knob to try and move the hands (I didn’t want to break anything, so I didn’t test that part). It is monogrammed on the front on the shield. Back of outer cover shows 6 pointed star. All very fancy design all sides. Outside of case shows light hand grime and all in very nice condition. There is a hairline on the enamel face at the #7, and very tight light hairlines at #11. No other issues on any other areas noticed. Questions let me know. Please see all pics. I have some other Antique Pocket Watches listed at this time. From a Smoke Free Home. I have described everything to the best of my knowledge. Funds are received and cleared, as noted above. Thank You for your interest. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as “gifts” – US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. I believe this pocket watch is a “lever set” as there is the notch poking out from the side of the case at just before the #5. That is why, to my not knowing, I was not able to set the time hands the normal way of pulling up on the stem.
