Another Elgin Grade 381

The 381 is a three-fingered bridge model, 16 size, with 17 jewels.

These are popular today because of their especially "old-timey" look.  But the interesting thing is that this style was not contemporary at the time.  This was what we today would call a "retro" style, back in the 19-teens.  It was their idea of a 1890s-ish watch.





This one was made about 1912.
