Re: Elgin Pick Up
Looks in great shape for 110 years or so. Appears small in your hand, what is the case size? Congrats.

You're right about the engraving.

Re: Elgin Pick Up
Fabulous. The centric circular pattern engraving is done manually with help of some special fiddle-dee-doo I once was shown by a watchmaker, allowing to turn the case click by click, aiding in angle and distance from center. Very very nice!
I believe it is an Elgin.

Re: Elgin Pick Up
Looks fantastic and familiar believe from 1894 to the 20’s the bird was very sought after engraving. Last couple I have seen have ranged in price from around 2k-3500.
