Need Elgin info please.
I am in telephone contact with a scrapper who has a couple Elgins. Since the database isn't working, I thought someone here may help.
SN 26919332, He doesn't know watches but says it looks to be 23 Jewel, 16s!
SN 2221556, in a 14K case.

Also, while I'm looking for free advice, he has a watch marked Admiral, that also has "Henry Sandoz" on it. He doesn't know who made it.

There is also a Hampden that I'll post on a seperate thread.
Thanks for any help

You can google 'Henry Sandoz admiral' and find some information on this Swiss-made, mid grade watch.

Thanks Mike. I did and as you said, it's a mid/low grade swiss watch.
