Elgin 18 Size Fancy Engravings Gold Filled Hunter Case Pocket Watch in very condition with a nicely kept Elgin Grade 10 Movement.  This pocket watch has an ornately engraved case with lots of flowers and scene of a lighthouse by the water as well as a bird flapping its wings on the covers.  The gold-filled hunter case has coin edging as well.  Condition-wise the watch winds and runs well but we have not timed or had it serviced so we don’t offer any guarantee on timekeeping.  Most likely it will require full service if the owner wants to use it frequently.
