Ihave been left an Elgin open faced gents pocket watch. The inner face of thewatch casehas the inscription Keystone watch case,(an urn shaped stamp) below that the letter C,then below it USA. INside the next leaf the inscription reads Case Guaranteed, the word CYCLONE inside an eye like stamp,then 10 years below that,the urn shape appears againwith the serial No 4934305. On the movement plateits stamped ELGIN NATIONAL WATCH Co, USA.,seven jewels, serial No 2560007.I do not know if it is gold or nickel plated .

Hi Tom, thanks for your enquiry. Perhaps consider contact an independent antique dealer regarding your watch, or searching the term 'Horology' through Google, you are bound to come up with an expert in your area whom you can visit with your watch for further identification and information.
