UNITED STATES SALES ONLY. ************* HERE WE HAVE A SCARCE ELGIN CONVERTIBLE 16 TO 17 SIZE. THIS IS LARGER THAN THE STANDARD 16 SIZE WATCH AND TAKES A SPECIAL CASE (LIKE THIS ONE). THE CASE IS OVERSIZED, TRIPLE HINGED WITH BOTH LIDS MARKED SILVEROID ON THE INSIDE. I SEE NO MARKS ON THE NICE PORCELAIN DIAL. THE CONVERTIBLE WATCHES ARE RARELY SEEN CASED AND MOST ARE MOVEMENTS ONLY. MANY WERE IN SOLID GOLD CASES WITH THE CASES BEING SCRAPPED. THESE WONDERFUL WATCHES B...ELONG IN EVERY POCKET WATCH COLLECTION. THE PLATES WERE DESIGNED SO THEY COULD BE WOUND AT EITHER THE 12 OR 3 O'CLOCK POSITION. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY TAKING THE PLATE OFF THE MAINSPRING BARREL AND SWITHING 2 GEARS AND REPLACING THE PLATE. THESE NICKEL PLATED CONVERTIBLE ARE REAL QUALTIY AND THE PRECISION IS VERY EVIDENT. THE SERIAL NUMBER OF 1146009 DATES THIS TO 1882. RUNNING STRONG AND JUST SERVICED. SENT PRIORITY MAIL WELL PACKED AND BOXED SHIPPING IS $6.95. ************************** I CAN COMBINE SHIPPING SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BIDDING ON MY WATCHES I HAVE LISTED SELLING TODAY WAIT UNTIL THE LAST IS SOLD YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THEN I CAN SEND A COMBINED SHIPPING TOTAL OF 6.95.
