Pocket Watch Elgin 1910 Size 12s 7 Jewel Sterling Silver
Hunter Working
This
is an old Elgin pocket watch in good condition with 'Elgin' printed on its
dial. It is pendant wind and set with a machine engraved sterling silver hunter
case. It measures 47.1mm in diameter (not including the pendant) and 12.6mm
thick. The case is in excellent condition with some minor wear to the engine
turning (as you would expect in a 110 year-old watch), and one or two minor hardly
noticeable small shallow dents on the outer covers (see photos). The catch and hinge
spring are present and function correctly to open and hold close the front
cover. The hinges in the case are in good condition. There are no initials
engraved on the inside or outside of the case. Both the inner and outer covers
of the case have matching English Hallmarks for Stirling Silver, Birmingham, 1910
with the makers mark ‘A.L.D’ and “Dennison Watch Case Co”, and the serial number
‘58618C’. The makers mark ALD is the makers mark for Aaron Lufkin Dennison, or
the Dennison Watch Case Company. The Dennison Watch Case Company was founded by
Aaron Dennison in 1874. The porcelain dial is in excellent condition with no
visible chips or hairline cracks (See photo). The watch also has a glass
crystal in excellent condition with no chips or scratches (see photo). The
movement has the following markings "Elgin Nat’l Watch Co, USA, Safety
Pinion, Seven Jewels" and the serial number 14,458,932. This serial number
shows the movement was made in 1910, is a model 2, grade 310, class 113, size 12s
with 7 jewels.
The
watch works, and I have wound and run it for 24 hours on my desk, and it
appeared to keep time to within a couple of minutes. The watch has not been
cleaned or serviced and so is sold as is.
This
is a vintage item and therefore has wear. It is offered as is without guarantee
other than an honest description. I do offer a refund policy, if you are not
entirely satisfied and contact me within 7 days of receiving the watch I am
happy to refund the purchase price of the watch (but not the postage costs)
when it has been returned. I will only refund postage costs if I have made an
error in my description of the watch.
Please
ask any questions before bidding and I will do my best to answer queries
promptly.
