Elgin Grade 291
These winding/setting parts are typical of a wide range of Elgin designs, in many sizes.
These are those same parts in place in the main plate.
This is the replacement staff, and the old one with the broken pivots still attached to the balance wheel.
The ratchet wheel on this movement is totally functional, but has had its decorative finish ground away. I see this quite a bit. I have no idea why someone would do that.
This watch is an Elgin grade 291, 16 size, 7 jewels, made about 1925.
When a hunter movement is put in an open-face case, the stem falls at the 3:00, to the right when hold 12:00 up. Sometimes that combination is called a "side winder."
When an open-face movement is in a hunter case, it looks like this, with the 12:00 at the stem and the font cover hinge opposite at the 6:00. This combination is not as common.
