Hi all,
Can someone tell me what Elgin ser# 10441965 is ?
I believe it is a Veritas, but do not know what grade, year, etc.
Thanks,
Bill

Grade: 239
Named for: Veritas
Grade 239 may be marked for Veritas or 349.
Description: Grade 239, 18 size, 21 jewels, made about 1904.

Thanks Steve appreciate it.

Thanks I did not know that a 349 was the same grade as a Veritas

Some were, some weren't. They used Veritas grade materials in some watches that were never marked as Veritas, but were still considered 'Veritas grade'.

For instance, the Father Time 367 was a Father Time model, but considered a 'Veritas' grade watch as it was made from the very same materials as the Veritas models.

Some were marked as such, or just with the model number, like the 349.

Elgin had a confusing practice of grading watches, that's for sure.

Regards! Mark
