1910-An 18 size, open face nickel/silver pocket watch by Elgin National Watch Co. Stem wind, lever set. The double-sunk white enamel dial bears black arabic numerals in the hour chapter, and black hash marks with red arabic numerals in the outer chapter ring. The hands are blued spades and the seconds hand is a blued whip. The face is marked "Elgin". The front bezel screws off, and the extra-thick glass crystal appears to be original. The rear case bears a detailed engraving of a steam engine, and bears one small gouge. The case screws off and its interior is inscribed "Philadelphia/ Watch Case Co./ Silverode". The 3/4 plate 21 jewel movement is nickel plated, beautifully demaskeened, and inscribed in gold lettering "Veritas/ Elgin, Ill./ U.S.A./ 21 Jewels/ Safety Barrel/ Adjusted 5 Positions". The serial number, 14090339, dates this model 8 to 1910. A very handsome watch in near pristine condition and fine working order. HKA#64602
