I have an Elgin HC and an unable to open the works to get the serial number to obtain more information. I can open two sides and all they say are 8809358. ???
Listen do not try to open this yourself take it to a jerwerly this is a very valuable Watch and you do not want to do anything to damage it whats so ever I Ruined a watch like that and if I had just lefted it alone and took it to someone who knew what to do I would still have it in one piece! Go to E-Bay Look under Antiques and collectables should be under coins and watches you can also Look up how valuable they are! There is a liquid you can use to help restore the numbers on it I saw it the other day Looking up a 1884 Sliver Dollar. As soon as I can I will Look it up and see what I can Find out about it For you.
Fixing to Look it up Now I know what you mean about not knowing the value and Dealers are The Biggest Crooks around!Fixing to Look it up Now I know what you mean about not knowing the value and Dealers are The Biggest Crooks around!
So Far from what I understand none of them are 10k gold they are 14k and up 18k gold prices range anywhere from $200.00 and up to $1,9995.00 But keep in mind some are just now Bidding on them and can Go as high as $5,000.00 or Better it just depends on alot of diferent things and to tell you the truth I really would have no idea of what it is worth they are only listing 42 Hunters pocket watches and Starting Bid on one of the Ladies HC is at $400.00 Best advice is to take it to someone you think you can trust just let them know you are not interested in Selling it and Never ever let them take it in a back room as to where you cannot see what they are Doing and Take a Good Friend with you so No one trys to Rip you OFF Im Sorry to talk this way but people are something else these Days and I use to be the Most trusting person around untill I had to realize that Not everyone was Raised Right! People Do Lie and Cheat!
