Elgin Pocket Watch

This watch recently celebrated its 100th birthday! It is in nice shape for a timepiece from 1917. It comes in a decorated gold-filled “Referee” case by Wadsworth, with a clean white Roman dial. Unlike many of the so-called “Assembled in USA” watches of today, this vintage watch really was Made in America.
