Hi All

Just picked this nice little Illinois pocket watch up. The shop owner said it was not solid gold, but I think it might be? It is labeled Brooklyn with a picture of a eagle and then the word eagle and serial number. Do I remember that the Brooklyn cases are solid gold? Any help on this would be appreciated. Will try to post picture later.

Thanks

Hi Keith, yes it is supposed to be 8K solid gold. Geno

Thanks Gene for the information.

Here is a picture of the case name. This is hard to photograph.

a picture of the case front.

I had time to look up the serial number in the big blue illinois book and found out this is a 4 size grade 130. Great little watch.

I agree with Gene. Roy Ehrhardt's trademark book shows Brooklyn Eagle, with that same eagle logo, as 8K solid gold on page 57.
