Found this nice old Elgin key winder at a local mart a few weeks ago. The inside cover had an inscription dated Dec. 25, 1878. The three people mentioned were all druggists and civic leaders in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin in the late 1800s.  | ||

The movement is a GM Wheeler serial number 98819 dating to about 1871.  | |||

Housed in a nicely tarnished Dueber coin silver case with a double sunk dial with the signature "Elgin Nat'l Watch Co". Overall great shape but needs a cleaning to get running.  | |||
