Beautiful Elgin pocket watch made in the USA (Chicago, Ill). There is some damage to the face of the watch but this does not diminish it's value. Please see all photos that will also show where someone tried to pry open the watch not realizing it just needed to be screwed off like a jar lid. The multiple letter and number etches are the different jewelers who may have worked on the watch. Excellent timepiece.

This was provide by the bench jeweler appraiser.
