Found this last Sunday. Was a lot of fun doing my best to clean it up, and learn a little about pocket watches identifying it. Finally cleaned enough to track down what it was. 1902 15 jewel Elgin hunters watch. The case itself has stamped on the inside that 25 years warranted, which through lots of fun research, I found that it most likely means that it is gold filled. I get the biggest thrill out of cleaning these lost and found relics. You go from not seeing any writing of any kind, A little cleaning and words just appear out of nowhere. Even though its roached....I love it. I put some pics in, of the only one I found for sale like mine, and its info. Was pretty neat seeing it in its hay day
