Elgin 30s

Vintage Elgin watch from the thirties... love the filigree work on American watches from this period

Interesting piece!

That's fairly large for the period too. I note that there is a huge (by modern standards) gap between crown and case. I've seen this in family pieces of the era too. I guess convenient winding was the aim, as quality was obviously superb.

These vintage pieces exude character that can't be captured today!
