Description

Elgin B W Raymond railroad grade pocket watch, 1911.

The watch has a high grade movement with nickel finish, 17 jewels and adjusted to five positions, travelling nut (spring) regulator and gold set screw-set jewels. This watch would have qualified for service on all railroads and was advertised for railroad service. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 15502513 which dates it back to 1911.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and was made by the Star Watch Case Company for Elgin. The case is in lovely condition.

The acrylic lens is in good condition (some white reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial has a few hairline cracks but they are quite faint. Original hands.

As with all true railroad watches, the bezel is unscrewed, the lever next to number 1 is gently pulled out and the hands can then be set to the correct time.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
