Elgin pocket watch 16 size, 17 jewel, grade 386, model 6, hunter movement. The pendent is at the 3:00 position. This was considered to be a man's watch in it's day. This watch has a nickel 3/4 plate movement and is pendent set and pendent wound. This watch was made in 1921.FaceBack

The case does not have any markings related to gold. I believe it is a gold-filled case.

I forgot to mention that the watch is in very good working order.

Seems to be quite nice, but it is not Elgin's highest grade movement. Keeping in mind that I am not a pocket watch expert by any means, I'd imagine it would trade for $275-$375.
