14K GOLD ELGIN POCKET WATCH - OPINIONS, COMMENTS "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
I have a vintage 14K gold Elgin Pocket Watch that belonged to my husband's grandfather. It is 17 jewels, serial number inside 23624974 works, beautiful multi-colored gold, beautiful engravings. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I will send pictures as soon as I can figure out how to send them.

Thanks,

Clara

Clara I downloaded Picasa which is provided free by google for making pictures easier to send,. etc., by reducing their "pixel count" but not the size. It works perfectly for our threads here.

Do a search for Picasa and you will find it, then when you have downloaded the free program, just choose the file of pictures you and to use, click on all of them and tell picasa to "export" them. You will get the lower density pics in your original file with a -1 suffix on their title and you will still have the originals too!

Clara,

For the sake of continuity, please add your images by "Reply to Post" in your original topic.

All the instructions are right here...

And as David recommended "Picasa" is a favorite of many!

Fantastic multi-colored solid-gold case!

It's a 14K .585 Fine Solidarity with all the proper markings. Clara and I worked through posting and she is desirous of selling this beautiful watch here on our site. She will now try to do better images, this will be fun!
