How can you tell when an Elgin pocket watch was made?
1 Answer
To tell when an Elgin pocket watch was made, turn it over and examine the case. On most timepieces, you'll find a four-digit stamp above the circular Elgin logo marking. Cross-referencing this number with information published on trusted online resources will often allow you to determine the approximate manufacturing date for a pocket watch. If you encounter any difficulty, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can help you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Elgin pocket watches.
