If you've ever wanted a pristine timepiece for your collection, so pristine in fact, that it appears to have never been circulated and never used, this Elgin Grade 252 Father Time may be just the pocket watch you've been looking for. This timepiece, manufactured in 1900 during the first year production runs, is one of the rarer railroad grade pocket watches in existence, with a total of 19,000 ever produced in total. The Elgin Grade 252 movement features a wonderful demaskeen pattern and intricate scroll-work engravings. It is housed in a gorgeous B&B Watch Case Co. gold fill case with a delightful natural scene engraved on the case back including trees and a bird in flight. This watch has just been serviced and runs like a Kentucky Derby champion. The extreme rarity, first year production, and pristine condition of this Father Time makes it a one of a kind perfect gift for a loved on this holiday season, or as a centerpiece addition to your collection.
