Note: My elgin my Elgin is dated 1895 on the case
inscription so I believe that the manufacturing
date must be earlier than the 1900s

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This serial number block does not appear in the 1896 Material Catalog, leading to the conclusion that it was manufactured after 1896. It is possible the case or movement was swapped at some point in time.
