Need help with this elgin
not working needs main spring
what will be good price to buy it this one.

dial

That is an Elgin "Convertible", 13 Jewel, Grade 48, Approx. 16 (Special) size, with case. In running condition it would "book" at around $200.00, Lower sans Mainspring.

I disagree with the "book" believing this is worth well over $200.00 in good restorable cased condition.

Peter, I agree with David in all respects....

This Grade 48 Elgin Convertible is only one of 8000 ever made, you can bet your bippie that is very collectible and a nice additon to any collection....

A new mainspring should be an easy find....

Jerry

Thank you Dave and Jerry
how much will be for new spring.

$5. to $10. Not installed. It is possable that once a new mainspring is installed it still will need serviced to get any type of time keeping ability.
As for as collect ability I disagree. It just looks to be a convertable that would not make it into my Personal collection. But to each his own.

Being 8000 made it does have some collectability. Just not mine. If the case is mint then maybe.

Peter, Contact me at (619) 596 1660 usually between 10AM and 5PM California time weekdays, we can talk about restoral and the spring.

Thanks Dave Im not sure if want to fix it or just
sale it as is to collector.

Peter, if you don't work out a deal with David, let me know and we will work out something....I collect Elgin Convertibles....

Regards,


Jerry
