Description: 1956 Women's Elgin Manual Wind Watch This is a very nice and somewhat rare women's Elgin 19 "Helene" manual wind watch, made in the U.S.A. in 1956. I have only seen a few of these for sale over the years. The men's version of this watch is called the "Holcomb" which is also somewhat rare and collectible. The 19 jewel 703 grade movement has been cleaned and oiled, and the watch is running well and keeping accurate time. The dial is in excellent condition, with no patina or paint loss anywhere to be found. The 10k Gold Filled case has been cleaned and polished, and shows only light surface scratches. Note that the case back has been engraved with "Carol S". A brand new acrylic crystal has been installed. A bracelet with 10k Gold Filled top caps is included, and will fit a wrist up to 7". Overall, the watch is in excellent condition and ready to wear! Please see pictures for more details, and feel free to ask any questions prior to purchase. Please keep in mind that it takes a lot of my time, money, and knowledge to get these watches in reliable, running order and to make them look the best they can. I believe I am listing each watch at a fair market value -- I take the time to do a lot of research, and frequently check the "going rate" for watches that are similar to what I am offering, and adjust according to condition. As a result, I do not accept offers. Thank you for your understanding. I do combine shipping -- all items purchased at the same time will be shipped together in one box for a flat $6.00 fee. Simply add the items you wish to purchase to your cart, and when you check out, you should see one $6.00 flat shipping charge. Send me a message if for any reason you see shipping charges greater than $6.00 so that I can send you a refund of the excess.
