Hi All

Since the Elgin site is still down, could someone identify this 6s Elgin movement for me. Serial #6178549.

Thanks

Serial #6178549 is a Grade 168, Second Model 6 Size, 16 Jewel Hunter Cased movement. 6,000 total production serial numbers asssigned through 6178001-6887000 ion the 1895-1896 time frame.

Thanks David for the information. This is a great looking movement and from 1895 time frame, how did they do it.

With a lot of highly motivated employees!

1895 was about the height of the competition between American watch manufacturers to see who could offer the fanciest plate decoration, with elaborate damaskeening and tutone designs.
