This jobber-cased model has a 6/0-size Elgin movement house in an ornate, fold-out case made by the Illinois Watch Case Company. It is in crisp, excellent condition showing no brassing. Caseback is excellent and unengraved, The case measures 39mm long and 27mm wide. Refinished dial is superb, has gold-inlaid numerals and luminous dots and hands. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by a 7-jewel Elgin grade 430 manual wind movement, serviced by me a few years ago and still running strong.
