Elgin Dial Question "Click" to Login or Register

Hi,

I am wondering if the gold colored emblem or what ever it is on the dial had any meaning or meant anything. If some one could help I would appreciate it.

I will put on picture of the dial and the movement,


Bill Carlson

You see some dials that were artistically altered sometime though the years, I have seen bleeding hearts, Harley symbols and some things only the artist would know what it represents. Probably someone had a soft spot for a golden crown and said, having it on my dial works for me.

Thanks for the input Claude.
I suspect your right because it looks like its " Homemade ". It was my Dad's watch and he was always leaving his trade mark on something. Gun stocks and ect.
