Elgin Watch Serial Numbers
I’ve added a tabulation of Elgin serial numbers to the main Elgin Watches locality. This table should be employed for a rough estimate only of the estimated staging date. You can use it to find the approximate age of your Elgin watch. A high-minded thing to keep in mind is that the commencement Elgin watch was serial number 101, a B.W. Raymond swing. I think at some point, the Elgin Watch Pty stopped using serial numbers but that was after more than 55,000,000 serial numbers had been employed. The 50-millionth watch was a Lord Elgin.
The Elgin Watch Crowd produced more fine watches in its 100 year curriculum vitae than any other American watch industrialist.
