Note: The movement on this watch indicates that it is 15
jewel, not seven. This watch is pictured on
Etsy.com, (unless I buy it).
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The Elgin Grade 7 was exclusively manufactured as a 7-Jewel movement. The "15 Jewels" marking is possibly an after-market addition.
