Not rare but different. It reminded me of a Hamilton but its of course a Elgin. 18s GM Wheeler. Only 6000 in this model and grade which was low for Elgin. This is also my first photo attempt with a real camera.

Elgin nuts, how many 3/4 plate 18s Wheelers have you seen?


Aaron

You can see the Hamilton resemblence.

No camera secrets. Honestly. I just point and shoot. Didnt even touch up in photo shop. I was outside and used a milk carton as a filter for the light. I am going to keep practicing and post a few more Elgins.

Here is another interesting Elgin. A G. M. Wheeler, with the 3 finger bridge.
