ANTIQUE ELGIN GRADE 294 MODEL 5 OF 7J SWING CASE 18S POCKET WATCH~RUNNING. Item Is Pre-Owned: Item Is sold "AS IS"; Shipped USPS Ground Advantage.


For your viewing and bidding approval I present this vintage 7j Elgin model 5, grade 294 pocket watch manufactured in circa1908. The timepiece is an 18 size and is housed in a Deuber Silverine case. While the case evidences some scratches and light wear it is less than one would expect of a timepiece over 110 years old. The white porcelain dial as viewed through the lightly scuffed glass crystal is nice condition notwithstanding the presence of hairlines. This antique gem is powered by a 7j signed Elgin full plate, guilt, pendant wound and set movement which currently winds and runs although intermittingly setting is problematic. Nonetheless, accuracy is not guaranteed. If optimal timekeeping is desired a cleaning and adjustment is recommended.


Please review all the pictures as they represent far more accurately the items condition than any verbal description that I can provide. In those situations where you are uncertain or unsure, ask questions, before bidding. Don't assume. Asking questions will ensure that you receive what you expect. Most if not all of the horological items which I present for auction are from watchmakers' estates which have been in storage for a number of years. Consequently, I have no details as to their prior history nor can I offer any information other than what has been gleaned from cursory observation.


Now for the boring stuff:


Please study the photographs closely as they are considered part of the description. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me prior to bidding. 


There are no refunds. I do not accept returns because you thought that it was something different, or you changed your mind. All items are deemed sold "AS IS" unless there is a material error in the description. In that rare event, an item may be returned for a full refund, minus shipping cost, if applicable. We do not offer, nor give partial refunds. The item must be returned in the same condition and with the same packaging and paperwork, if any, with which it was sent.


Payment is due within three days of auction end unless you have contacted us prior to make alternate arrangements. Payments not received within four days will be reported to eBay as a non-payment. Your bid will thereafter be cancelled and the item relisted. 


International bidders welcomed.
