Circa 1920-1930.
Here is an Art Deco inspired vintage Elgin tank watch in a 14K solid yellow gold engraved case featuring a refinished luminous dial and a hinged movement tray. This is a fairly large size watch for vintage standards measuring at approximately 24mm wide x 36mm in length. The top and sides have been engraved in detail with meticulous care while the hinged back case is free of personalizations. The watch sets and winds smoothly and is powered by a 15 jewel manual hand winding Elgin grade XXXX movement that runs strong and kept good time over a 24 hour period. The inside back case reads: Star Watch Case Co., 14K 585/1000 Fine, 1236021. There are some light scratches on the back case seen under magnification and the crystal has some light scratches as well near the 12 marker.
