【Working Condition】Elgin Pocket Watch + Kanji Compass Charm
This is an ELGIN pocket watch that was found while organizing my family home.
A chain with a compass marked in Kanji was also included.
It was kept by a family member, and it is certain that it has been stored for at least 40 years.
Upon researching the internal engraving (17 JEWELS / 21502245), it appears to be a very old model manufactured around Taisho 8 (1919).
[Regarding Operation]
• I tested it without winding it to its limit for fear of breaking the mainspring. Continuous operation for 2-3 hours has been confirmed in that state, but the duration beyond that is unknown.
• During several tests, it stopped once when I opened the case back. It started running again immediately with a slight movement.
• When I placed it in my bedroom for operation checks, the ticking was quite loud and clear, to the point where it was difficult to sleep. Based on my amateur assessment, the mechanism itself seems to be in good working order.
[Appearance and Other]
• There are scuffs and minor scratches due to age, but it is in relatively clean condition for an item that is 100 years old.
• The chain has a compass with Kanji markings. There is an engraving SPM on the back.
As this is a very old item, please consider it as sold as-is with the understanding that maintenance may be required if you intend to use it practically.
