Elgin 18 size Rail Road grade, key wind key set, pocket watch face case. This case is a nice coin silver Dueber brand. It has dings and wear, but nothing that detracts from its beauty and function in my opinion. All of the covers snap down tightly. It has a new thick glass crystal in the case. Crystal is "new old stock" from about the same period as the watch was made. The single sunk porcelain dial has hairlines as can be seen, but nothing bad. Very nice shape for 140 years. This is a very nice example of a 140 year old watch. The movement is the H. H. Taylor and is a 15 jewel, adjusted movement. It is the model 1, grade 58 movement with the slow train. This one was made in 1873. It runs great and keeps very good time. All plate serial number match. This is not a scabbed together movement. It is in it's original case. It does not come with a key. We do sell those separately. You will need one so that you can wind and set the watch.
