This is a very nice Elgin 6 size pocket watch. The case is 18k solid gold and has black enameling. The front of the watch has a beautiful seen of a house on a river in the woods (see picks). Most of the enameling on the front is still there on the back most of it is gone. There are a couple of dings on the back, hard to see. The rest of the case is in very good condition. There is an engraving on the dust cover it says Callie Leonard Dec. 25th 1881. The dial is beautiful, it is multi colored with black airbic numbers and gold colored fancy hands. It has some hairlines running through the 4,5,11,and through the center. And a few chips around the edge at 3 and 11. The movement is a 13 jewel 6 size Elgin. It has been serviced and keeping good time. A very nice Elgin.
