A review of an 1899 Elgin pocket watch that has always been in my family!
IT was the luxury liner deemed unsinkable by its owners. But 100 years ago, the Titanic sank on its ill-fated maiden voyage, taking the lives of 1514 people – including many Scots.
The disaster claimed victims from all classes and cultures, with the wealthy left fighting for survival along with crew and passengers from the lower decks.
In the desperate scramble for the scarce lifeboats, there were allegations of treachery and bribery among the 705 who survived.

You are bidding on one Non-working Elgin pocketwatch. Belonged to my uncle and other than that I can only give you a good visual description and what it carries copy-wise on the case. Again, I do not have expertise regarding this watch, but I will do my best to describe what you will be getting. Both the crystal, face, hands and case seem to be in very good condition. The case is heavily oxidized, but is free of dings and dents. The crystal is approximately 1.75″ in diameter. On the face it only says: Elgin Nat’l Watch Co. Opening the first back the metal is much more shiny. The text there says: Warranted Trade Mark Coin Silver Q5491. Inside the second back the mechanism is visibe. Inside this second back there is the text: Q5491 with a number 3 over that. On the face of the mechainism is the text: 838668 and Elgin, Il and Elgin Nat’l Watch Co. Along this inside edge is repeated: Q5491. Hope this all means something to you. Winning bidder will pay $5.25 shipping and agree to pay for the auction in an Ebay approved manner with PayPal always preferred. Best of luck.
