Ed UeberallJay,
Your watch is a Grade 367, made in 1910. There were at total of 13,000 movements made in this grade between 1907 and 1919. Most were marked "Father Time", some were free sprung (no regulator) and some were made with a wind indicator attachment. You can get more data from Wayne Schlitt's excellent Elgin site.
