What is the value of Elgin National Watch Co picket watch movement 8125779?
My understanding is that a 15 jewel watch is not an "official" railroad watch. Elgin was probably playing off the railroad theme. You did not give the size or if the watch is open face or hunting case. I am guessing that the watch is open face. Value depends largely on whether the watch case is solid gold or if it is gold filled. I am guessing gold filled on a 15 jewel. If the case says "warranted" it is most likely gold filled. A 20 year case is 10k gold filled and a 25 year case is 14k gold filled. What I have seen sell in antique malls is $100-200 for gold filled and $300-500 if solid gold.

Compare 20 micron thickness to gold filled?
The thickness of gold on a gold-filled watch varies, including on the same watch, as a gold-filled finish can vary in thickness. But generally, a gold-filled finish will be about 20-40 microns thick. A 20 micron gold-plate finish is a bit thinner than most filled-gold finishes but is more uniform. A 20 micron gold-plate finish will wear a long time and compares well with a gold-filled finish.
How much would 14k gold filled vintage watch be worth?
The term "gold filled" is a misnomer. Gold filled pocket watches for instance, are really gold plated brass. If the watch is very old it stands to reason, most of the goldplating is wearing thin. As more time passes the metal that was plated with gold willstart to show through.Now we come to the guts. The guts in a watch is as variable as the guts in a car for instance. Which has better mechanism, a Cadillac or a broken down pickup truck.Combine the quality of the mechanism of a watch (like Swiss movement) add the value of the case (14kt solid gold) and you have the total value of the watch.Gold test kits can be purchased on line. So you can check the gold content yourself.As far as the mechanism goes, have a pro guide you.Danny in Mesa
How do you tell if a pocket watch is gold filled?
A gold filled American pocket watch case is typically marked 10 years, 20 years or 25 years under the back cover and sometimes under the dust cover. This was a warrantee offered by the watch companies. Anther way to test is to (*be carful) but very gently apply pressure on the back cover, if it is gold the will be some flex. Gold filled cases have a hard metal core that will not have much play.
How do you determine if pocket watch is gold or gold filled?
I'm sure you know the purity of gold is given in karats (12kt = 50% purity, 24kt = 100% pure, etc).If the watch is solid gold it will be marked (usually inside the case) 10kt , 12kt ,14kt , 18kt.A gold-filled watch will have the letters GF after the karat mark.
How much is a elgin 15 jewel pocket watch with a railroad picture engraved on the back and it still runs and the serial number is 10291386?
I am not an authority on pocket watches. Value depends largely on whether it has a gold case or a gold filled case. A 15-jewel watch is not officially a "railroad" watch. I think Elgin was probably playing off the railroad theme. Also, I would guess that a 15 jewel is probably gold filled. If the inside of the cased is marked "warranted" it is most likely gold filled. I think a 20 year case is 10k goldfilled and a 25 year case is 14k gold filled. You did not mention the size or if it is open face or a hunting case watch. What I have seen sell in antique malls is $100-200 if gold filled, $300-500 if solid gold. Hope this helps. Perhaps someone with more information will respond. Larry
