1901 Elgin 6s 7J Pocket Watch - Rare Fancy Gilt Star Dial - Running

Production Year: 1901 (Manufactured as part of a factory run of 4,000 movements).Movement Size: 6s (Size 6s is a smaller, elegant mid-sized scale often intended for a lady's pocket or pendant configuration).Jewel Count: 7 Jewels (A standard, highly reliable utility layout featuring synthetic ruby or sapphire bearings).Setting Type: Pendant Set (The time is adjusted by clicking the winding crown outward rather than pulling a hidden lever).Case Info: The stamping on the upper lid reads Guaranteed... 20 Years. This officially confirms it is gold-filled, with a layer of gold thick enough that the factory guaranteed it wouldn't wear through to the brass for two full decades of daily use.Historical Context. This watch is an Elgin Grade 216 (Model 2) movement featuring a beautiful damaskeened pattern (the wavy decorative swirls patterned onto the nickel plate). When paired with the decorative, starry fancy gilt dial seen from your first photo, this configuration elevates it from a standard piece into a highly attractive, collectible turn-of-the-century heirloom.
