Virtually UNUSED 18S 21J Elgin 348 From Xmas, 1909!
This is the kind of stuff I live for...

Take a look at what appears to me to be an unused
Elgin 348 Hunter!

The entire watch shows just like it did that Xmas morning in 1909...simply unbelievable

Think I'll keep this one a few years just to open it occasionally as it's a time capsule into our past. Just wanted to share and hopefully someone else will come across an unused treasure like this. Good Luck in the Hunt!

Thanks Guys...I tried to get it to talk to me but
it's staying mum...the movement is by far the finest full plate Elgin I have ever seen, just doesn't look to have ever been used actively.

The 348 in my collection will be up FS when I get back to Illinois
