The Elgin serial number search websites are based on the serial number lists that were published in old Elgin parts catalogs.
Xyzzytom_227411 xyzzytom_227413 xyzzytom_227414 xyzzytom_227412Ī lot of this data is based on guessing from surviving materials from the Elgin factory. Thank you for looking, and any insight or comments you may have. I need to find someone in Wisconsin who can get it running again. It hasn't been oiled or cleaned and has sat in a drawer for many, many years. It appears to be very solid, but am afraid to wind it because I don't want to break anything. Does the run quantity mean only 1,000 were made? What does the grade and class refer to? Is this a desirable watch or is it fairly common? As you can see from the pics it is fairly tarnished- should I clean it or does the have an impact on the value of the piece? Inside on the movement it reads: G.M Wheeler, Elgin Ill,and has the following serial number: 302563 Inside the back cover of the watch is has what appears to be a small crown and below it says: Warrantied Coin Silver. I have a couple of questions following the watch info if you so kindly could weigh in on. I have this pocket watch and this is what I've been able to determine. I've always been interested in pocket watches, and my youngest son who is 12 is also showing an interest.
A wealth of information here, thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experience.
