Vintage Elgin Art Deco Pocket Watch – Grade 303, Size 12s, 7 Jewel Movement
This vintage Elgin open face pocket watch presents a remarkable opportunity for collectors and restoration enthusiasts. The watch, housed in a striking Art Deco octagonal case crafted by the Illinois Watch Case Co., features chrome plating on a base metal construction. Its serial number (34060723) identifies it as a Grade 303 / Class 114 / Size 12s movement, dating back to 1933. The 38mm wide case displays excellent condition and is adorned with the engraved initials “AA”. The crystal is also in superb condition, although there is a noticeable mark on the inside at the 9:00 position (which appears removable). The dial itself is beautifully preserved. While likely requiring a servicing to restore full functionality, this watch is being sold as-is for parts or restoration purposes. Please carefully review the photos provided to assess its condition and determine its potential.
