Description

I have a pocket watch handed down for generations starting in Wurtzburg Germany. It is an Elgin case rear movement # 6991406. It says "Larmin" (Chromometre) on the front face. The main gear says 15 Rubis & 1a It is great condition and works. I believe it is from the late 1890s.http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x203/socalrebell/?action=view&current=PICT0420.jpghttp://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x203/socalrebell/?action=view&current=Picture045-1.jpg
