A Large 1920s Elgin Pocket Watch, Chain & Vesta

A large 1920s Elgin pocket watch, chain & vesta.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working well. The movement is signed Elgin Nat'l Watch Co. U.S.A and it has the serial number 23159763 which dates it back to 1921 when it was included in a run quantity of 1000.

The watch measures 58.6mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop so it is a larger than the standard 50mm pocket watches. The case was made by the Keystone watch case company and is made of Silveriod. It is a good solid case with a screw-on bezel and case back. The case has light surface marks from use but overall it is in nice condition.

The glass lens is in nice condition.

The dial is enamel and it is signed Elgin U.S.A. and is in nice condition.

The watch has its original blued steel hands.

The watch comes on a vintage nickel double watch chain. Each of the longer chains measure 22.5cm long including the T bar and clasps.

The chain also has a plated darts fob and nickel vesta case. The vesta case has foliate detail to the front with monogrammed initials to the centre. The vesta has light surface marks from use and the odd small "ding" but overall it is in nice condition. The darts fob has some wear to the plating on the back.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
