Rarer 1890's Elgin OF 18 S.7 J Pocket Watch w/ a Nice Railroad Conversion Dial.

Description: You are viewing Rarer 1890's Elgin OF 18 Size.7 Jewel Pocket Watch w/ a Nice Railroad Conversion Dial. BUY NOW!! Read below for further details.. A Few Gentle Points Before Moving Forward- THE MOVEMENT IS NOT RAILROAD CALIBER. THE DIAL WILL SELL THIS WATCH AS ITS NOT COMMON AND IN IMMACULATE SHAPE GIVEN ITS AGE- SEE PICS. DEFINETLY A GREAT FIND. 1. THE CASING IS NOT REAL GOLD IT IS GOLD TONE OVER BASE METAL. MADE BY KEYSTONE. 2. THE WATCH DOES NOT WORK BUT BALANCE WHEEL DOES MOVE FREELY- WHICH MEANS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO GET THIS TO WORK. JUST THINK OF THIS AS A NON WORKING WATCH. 3. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE PLENTY OF EXPERTS IN THIS FIELD. I APPRECIATE IF YOU KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF. I AM NOT AN EXPERT AND TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE A GREAT LISTING FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED. 4. PLEASE READ ENTIRE LISTING AND SEE PICS TO DETMINE IF IT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD CONSIDER. I CANNOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS- MY APOLOGIES. IF YOU DESIDE TO BID ON THIS ITEM PLEASE RESPECT MY LISTING. THANK YOU SO LETS MOVE TO THE GOOD STUFF- Seller's Notes: I am not a watch expert but have sold and currently listing some wonderful items to the great people of eBay. This is the exact item you will receive. Here is the breakdown. Enjoy... Crystal- Looks great. I do not see any real wear. I do not know the material- could be glass or plastic. Rarer Railroad Conversion Dial- Looks great given its age with very little wear- a small tone mark on the gold circle near the 1 time mark. Light toning on the dial but overall color looks excellent given its age. Black and red number marks look very strong. This dial is not common. Hands- look very good- with only signs of wear when you view it with a 10x loupe you will see light fading but overall very good. Keystone Base Metal Gold Tone Case- not a bad looking case. Has a nice railroad silhouette on the back. Sidewinder back opening. Had nice color with light honest wear- hairlines, toning and light fading. Kind of compliments the watch. Serial number on case- 97238 Movement- THIS MOVEMENT IS NOT A RAILROAD MOVEMENT. Looks decent with some toning, fading, spotting. Please read below for further info. Bale/Crown- Bale is very sturdy. Crown has fading/toning. DOES NOT WIND- IT IS STUCK. DOES PULL TO MOVE HANDS BUT MAY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT FOR BETTER FLOW. IF I HAD TO GUESS I DO NOT THINK THE CROWN IS ORIGINAL BUT THAT IS MY OPINION. WORKINGS- AGAIN AS MENTIONED ABOVE THIS IS NOT A WORKING WATCH AND NEED TLC BUT WHEN SHAKING THE BALANCE WHEEL DOES MOVE FREELY BUT IT DOES NOT MOVE THE SECOND HAND. SOLD "AS IS" Would make a decent parts/restoration watch. See high def pics to determine condition, etc. Particulars: Info From The Pocket Watch Database: Manufacturer:ElginManufacturer Location:Elgin, IllinoisMovement Serial Number:4555102Grade:73Model:5Class:11Estimated Production Year:1892estimated production year of the movement within +/- 3 years" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(27, 118, 176); text-decoration-line: none; background-color: transparent; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">Run Quantity:4,000Grade/Model Run:52 of 117Total Production:659,000Size:18sJewels:7jMovement Configuration:Openface Hunting: The stem is at the 3:00 position, and the movement is meant to be mounted in a case that has a covering over the face.
