Lot 12- Elgin 12 Size Yellow 17 Jewel Open Face Pocket Watch

This is a nice, ticking Elgin 12 Size yellow cases 17 Jewel Open Face Pocket Watch. This watch has no crystal, mismatched blued hands, good sub second hand, genuine factory single sunk enamel dial with bold black Arabic hour numerals in black chapter ring. The watch has a clean screw cover yellow screw cover case with good bow, stem, sleeve and crown. The watch has a typical 17 jewel Elgin hunting movement recased into an open face pocket watch 12 size case. The movement does wind, sets and ticks with brisk motion. However, this movement does not stay running and will be sold as not running. It is quite clear this watch has been stored away for many years in a watchmaker's shop. Overall, this is a complete watch with good potential to American collector, dealer and repair person.
