A 1920s/30s Elgin Half Hunter Pocket Watch

A 1920s/30s Elgin half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is keeping good time to within around two minutes over 24 hours. The movement is signed Elgin Nat’l Watch Co USA and it has the serial number 28,306,603 which dates it back to 1925. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has the giver and receiver’s initials and the date May 17th 1931.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The half hunter case is gold plated. Overall it is in good condition with just a couple of small indentations to the front cover. The small glass lens has general marks from where it has rubbed against something in a pocket.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover which reveals a larger glass lens which is in good condition. The signed enamel dial is also in good condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
