Vintage/Antique, 1928 Elgin Art Deco, 14KT White Gold Case Women's Watch.

Description: This listing is for a vintage Art Deco, Victorian 14K white gold, ladies Elgin watch .I'm listing this ring at auction under its scrap gold value as a starting price. This is a rare find indeed! The serial number on the watch movement is 30931342, which places the watch's manufacturing date at 1928, making this nearly antique. The movement is not running, and unfortunately there is some rust on it, so I don't know if it is salvageable or not. View the photos to see the rust spots on the movement. I'm starting this auction at the value of the gold if scrapped, though I hope this watch will find new life, at least the case, as these old gold watches are becoming rarer by the year due to so many being scrapped for the gold. Since the opening bid is the scrap value, based on the weight of the case (minus the weight of the crystal and lugs) and at today's gold value, this opening bid is the lowest I can begin with. The watch case is 14k white gold and stamped 14K on the inside of the case. The case has the serial # 41208. The photos show some rust on the inside of the case. This is not on the case. It is transfer from the rust spots on the watch movement. The case measures 30 x 20 mm. This measurement does not include the hinge parts that attach to the band. The case weighs 6.33 gr when empty. This weight includes the crystal, because I can't pop that out to weigh it, but the crystal is very light, and also includes the little hinges, but I have estimated its scrap value at around 5 grams to account for this. This is a beautifully crafted, antique piece of jewelry, that connects us to our heritage. I hope that quality is appreciated by the new owner. Pictures are to be considered as part of the description. Please review the images for a better idea of condition, and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Shipping will be $4.50 USPS insured first class, and i would be more than willing to combine shipping. I don't offer a return policy, but... i will stand behind my listings. if i make a mistake on my listing, or i misunderstand an item or miss a relevant flaw on the items listed, i will do ANYTHING in my power to make things right for A 1940sthe buyer, so bid with confidence.
