This vintage Elgin pocket watch recently celebrated its 100th birthday! It is in nice shape for a timepiece from 1919. It comes in an open-face “20 years” gold-filled case by Star Watch Case Company (S.W.C.Co.) with a coin edge. Unlike many of the “Assembled in USA” watches of today, this timepiece really was Made in America.
