    Description

    Up for auction is this 1884 10s Elgin Pocket Watch. It is in a nice 8k Solid Gold Hunter Case. The movement is a Key Wind, 7j, Grade 28. There is a small crack on the bottom of the case (see photo below the engraving), but otherwise, there is minimal to no wear to the case. When I first aquired the watch, I was confused as to the metal content because no information in given on the case. After doing research on the markings, I found an article on pocket watch database showing the case markings:
    https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/guide/case-companies/brooklyn-watch-case-co/grades/8K-Eagle-18.
    Just to confirm, I had the case x-ray tested. The results were: 34% gold, 40% silver, 20% copper, and the other 6% was misc.
    The movement is a Key Wind. When winding, it does not quit winding, but it does run with accuracy. When tested, it ran for at least 12 hours and it was within 1 or 2 minutes. The dial has a hairline crack.
    The watch does come with what looks to be the original box.
