Vintage Elgin Grade 290 Pocket Watch – Hunt Case, Needs Repair – J. Boss Engraved
This vintage Keystone pocket watch, while not currently running, boasts exceptional case detailing with no dents and a properly functioning cover. Inside, you’ll find a remarkably preserved dial in pristine condition. Unfortunately, the crystal and hour/second hands are missing. The case measures approximately 50.5mm in diameter and 13.5mm thick when closed. Engraved on the inner outer cover is ‘KEYSTONE WATCH CASE CO.’ and inside the cover reads ‘J. BOSS 20 YEARS’. The movement bears the serial number 13845800, indicating a Grade 290 / Class 109 / Mod. 6 watch with 7 jewels and a Size 16s case, dating back to 1909. Although the balance wheel moves, it exhibits some sticking. This beautiful timepiece presents a fantastic opportunity for restoration and would make an impressive addition to any collection. Sold as-is for parts or repair, all sales are final.
