This is a vintage Elgin pocket watch, likely from the early 1900s to 1940s era, produced by the Elgin National Watch Company of Illinois — one of America’s most renowned watchmakers of the period. The watch features a classic white enamel dial with large bold black Arabic numerals and a subsidiary seconds dial at the 6 o’clock position. The ornate spade-style hands and clean layout reflect Elgin’s commitment to precision and readability, common in their railroad and everyday use timepieces. The gold-filled case shows some gentle patina consistent with age, adding to its authentic vintage character.
