My 1st Post and it's an vintage Elgin Question

[EverydayCats]

I was sent here from another forum to ask a question about pre WWII Elgins. Here are three that I have in my box of old stuff. These watches do not have movement numbers, but what appears to be serial numbers. From left to right: 32534988 - 32184475 - 31458544.



Thanks!

what we need you to do is pop the back off them and get a photo of the movements.

then we can really help you.

cheers,

Welcome to the American Cats!

You have come to the right place when it comes to Elgin...

We have some of the best and brightest folks on the planet here!

if you can, try to take individual shots of the watches both front and back
and as Sean points out, a good movement shot will really help provide
more details.

Here is a very easy tutorial on how to post larger photos
on the forum... take your time and get us those good shots.
an answer will follow, promise

Thanks for the info, and thanks to all for your replies. I have boxes full of old Elgins, Bulovas and most old US makers/importers from this era and I am weeding through them slowly, so thanks for helping me with these old guys.
