Re: Elgin Pocket Watch
According to it's serail number ( the one on the watch movement) your watch dates from 1899, one of one million Elgin made that year. Values for Elgins depends a lot on the case, its design and the metal it's made of. Unless it's a gold case most Elgins of this vintage sell for under $200.00.
