It's so hard to find an original Salesmen cased Railroad Grade pocket watches these days. Many have been re-cased or made into salesmen watches. Not this one, and on top of that we have a remarkable Elgin Grade 380 movement - very rare and tough to find with only 8,000 total production. That's almost unheard of for an American Railroad watch. The movement is high-end with finger bridges, gold set jewels, very well decorated, well finished, and gold center wheel. The piece was recently overhauled and is keep good time. It is lever set like all Railroad watches, with screw down bezel. The dial is perfect, I cannot see any flaws to note, This one will go fast once found. It's a great piece for any serious Railroad collection or even if you're just starting off. These salesmen watches also make great gifts because you don't have to open anything or have any know-how to view the movement.
