1894-An 18 size, open face, 6 oz coin silver encased pocket watch by Elgin National Watch Co. Stem wind, stem set. The singlele-sunk white enamel dial bears black roman numerals in the hour chapter, and black hash marks in the outer chapter ring. The hands are blued spades and the seconds hand is a blued whip. The face shows light crazing and is marked "Elgin Nat`l Watch Co." The front bezel screws off, and the extra-thick glass crystal appears to be original. The rear case bears a detailed, bi-metallic engraving of a man on horseback. The case screws off and its interior is inscribed "Lee,/ with all my love/ Pauline/ 6-19-70/ Fahys/ Coin/ No.1". The full plate 7 jewel jewel movement is gilt and engraved "Elgin Nat`l Watch Co./ Safety Pinion/ Elgin, Ill." The serial number, 5002897, dates the watch to 1894. All original parts. This watch, sure to please a horse lover, has been recently serviced and is in fine working order. HKA#64603
