Here is a splendid Antique Elgin National Watch company Enamelled Gold 7 jewel size 16 Pocket watch made in 1922.
This watch is highly collectible and would be a great addition to any collector.
It features a gold case and has a unique decorative enamelled face.
The decoration on the casing is exquisite and really these photo's do not do it any justice.
The casing does have some minor dents but otherwise it is in very good condition.
The crystal is in perfect condition however the face does show some minor hairline cracks.
The movement is a 7 jewel size 16.
The movement is running and keeps time well
The serial number on the movement is 25599321 and made in 1922.
The Elgin National Watch Company was founded in Massachusetts in 1864 by watch maker J.C. Adams and others. The company does actually still operate today.
It has also been associated with the more famous Waltham American Watch Company.
It is a highly collectable Brand of watch and this particular piece if mint would fetch £4000+.
