Rare Railroad Grade Hunter Case

 

ELGIN National

Watch Company

 

This is another one of the "Drop Dead Gorgeous" antique watches in this fabulous collection!

The OUTSTANDING  Hunter Case is BOTH Fancy AND Extra Heavy!!

 

 

Extra Fancy "Ribbed" or "Shell" pattern 3 Lid Hunter Case  

 

Rare Low Production, High Grade, 21 Jewel, Railroad Approved Hunter Model

 

 Beautiful Fancy Multicolor Porcelain Dial!!!

 

All American Made

 

The Massive Extra Fancy & Extra Heavy American 18 Size Box Hinge Hunter Case measures 55.00mm (not including the sleeve, stem, crown or bow). This museum piece is fabricated from extra heavy gauge (what we believe & declare to be 14 Karat Yellow Gold Filled. If it turns out to be 14 Karat Solid Gold the way it is Factory stamped and Hallmarked even better for you!!!). It is Extra Fancy with a blank initial shield on both outer covers.

 

Opening the watch reveals the Elgin factory signed and hallmarked Railroad Approved, High Grade adjusted movement. This very special timepiece features a model 2, Grade 149 Lever-Set  movement (at the 5:00 position). It is very rare to have Railroad Grade watches ever produced in the Hunter Case configuration. Of this Model & Grade only about 900-1000 are know to exist today. Almost NONE of those are in extra fancy Hunter cases with Multicolor porcelain dials making this an "extremely" rare timepiece!!!

This movement has full nickel Plates, Suspended compensated balance, Gold Jewel Settings, a Gold micrometer regulator, extra fancy hand damaskeening, hand engraving and even more gold inlay.

 

The super dial is a fancy multicolor single sunk porcelain dial. This dial features a white/cream background with extremely subtle light pastel mint green hour chapter with Gold inlaid cartouche hour markers & Gold minute dots with Silver Pyramid shape 5 minute markers

 

Why take a chance buying watches from online auctions, 3rd parties, brokers or "middlemen" not knowing for sure if the watch will be in proper running order when you get it?  Buy direct from a Vintage & Classic timepiece specialist and play it SAFE!
