[Question] Does this lion logo indicate a gold-filled case?sx

Does anyone recognize this lion logo or hallmark? I’m trying to figure out whether the watch case is gold-filled, gold-plated, or solid gold. I’ve attached a close-up of the logo

I’m honored to have received this piece as a family heirloom- it belonged to my great-great-grandfather. I’ve done some basic research (in post body), but am curious if any additional information exists.

The movement was made by Elgin National Watch Co., and the serial number (4736189) dates to around 1891-93 based on online database info.

The case was made by the Philadelphia Watch Case Co., with a serial number of 9036164. I’ve been unable to date the case.

Also, if anyone knows a reputable shop in western Pennsylvania I’d love to have this piece cleaned and serviced, as I’d never do so myself.

Thank you!

My Great Grandfathers Watch

I inherited this watch a very long time ago, it still works and keeps good time.
I’m trying to find out anything I can about it.
I couldn’t find too many markings apart prom the one on the case which says something about Philadelphia I think and warranted ten years..
Any help would be great!
