WW2 pocket watch
I have this watch but i dont know if its real or fake.




I have this watch but i dont know if its real or fake.
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
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!
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!
