THANK YOU! ====   Brief History: Elgin Watch Company Including Serial Numbers and Production Dates Elgin, Illinois 1864 - 1964   The Elgin Watch Company (also known as the Elgin National Watch Company) was the largest US watch company in terms of production. In fact, Elgin produced approximately one-half of the total number of higher-quality pocket watches manufactured in the United States. Total production over their 100 years of operation reached 60 million watches! The company was founded in 1864 in Elgin, Illinois as the National Watch Company, and some of the organizers were J. C. Adams, P. S. Bartlett, D. G. Currier, Otis Hoyt, and Charles H. Mason, with financial backing from former Chicago Mayor Benjamin W. Raymond. The factory for the National watch company was completed in 1866, and the first movement produced was an 18-size B. W. Raymond which sold in April of 1867 for the astounding price of $115. This identical watch, serial number 101, was sold at auction in New York in 1988 for $12,000. In 1874, the company officially changed their name to the Elgin National Watch Company, and that name remained until they stopped producing watches in the early '60's. Elgin was not known for making the highest quality watches, though some of their higher grades were exquisitely made timepieces. Together with Waltham Watch Company, they dominated the huge market for mid-grade watches. Elgin watches remain extremely popular with collectors today because they are plentiful, can be obtained at reasonable prices, and can be relatively easily repaired due to the large number of watches and parts available. Elgin shipped their first wristwatch in 1910, and later manufactured the first wrist watch to be qualified for railroad service, the grade 730A B. W. Raymond. Throughout their history, the Elgin National Watch Company was known for Horological innovations. In 1958, they introduced the "Dura Balance," an ingenious design for a free-sprung balance (no regulator pins) which used spiral balance arms and small weights to govern the moment of inertia of the balance. They also produced the only American-made automatic wristwatch movements: grades 607, 618, 760, and 761. These movements featured bi-directional, full-rotor winding, and had two automatic winding gear ratios, which were automatically engaged as the mainspring tension increased. The contributions of the Elgin National Watch Company to American Horological industry cannot be overstated. Many Elgin watches that were made over 100 years ago are still providing reliable and accurate daily service to their proud owners.   Year S/N   Year S/N   Year S/N 1867 9000   1897 7,000,000   1927 30,050,000 1868 25,001   1898 7,494,001   1928 31,599,100 1869 40,001   1899 8,000,000   1929 32,000,000 1870 50,001   1900 9,000,000   1930 32,599,001 1871 185,001   1901 9,300,000   1931 33,000,000 1872 201,001   1902 9,600,000   1932 33,700,000 1873 325,001   1903 10,000,000   1933 34,558,001 1874 400,001   1904 11,000,000   1934 35,000,000 1875 430,000   1905 12,000,000   1935 35,650,000 1876 480,000   1906 12,500,000   1936 36,200,000 1877 520,000   1907 13,000,000   1937 36,978,001 1878 570,000   1908 13,500,000   1938 37,900,000 1879 625,001   1909 14,000,000   1939 38,200,000 1880 750,000   1910 15,000,000   1940 39,100,000 1881 900,000   1911 16,000,000   1941 40,200,000 1882 1,000,000   1912 17,000,000   1942 41,100,000 1883 1,250,000   1913 17,339,001   1943 42,200,000 1884 1,500,000   1914 18,000,000   1944 42,600,000 1885 1,855,001   1915 18,587,001   1945 43,200,000 1886 2,000,000   1916 19,000,000   1946 44,000,000 1887 2,500,000   1917 20,031,001   1947 45,000,000 1888 3,000,000   1918 21,000,000   1948 46,000,000 1889 3,500,000   1919 22,000,000   1949 47,000,000 1890 4,000,000   1920 23,000,000   1950 48,000,000 1891 4,449,001   1921 24,321,001   1951 50,000,000 1892 4,600,000   1922 25,100,000   1952 52,000,000 1893 5,000,000   1923 26,050,000   1953 53,500,000 1894 5,500,000   1924 27,000,000   1954 54,000,000 1895 6,000,000   1925 28,421,001   1955 54,500,000 1896 6,500,000   1926 29,100,000   1956 55,000,000     Payment We accept Payment by Ebay, electronic full Payment must be received within 4 days from end of auction, If not received the eBay unpaid item assistant will open a case automatically 4 days after the listing ends, and the non paying buyer will be reported to eBay, for a non-payment strike.
