We offer serial number lookups for manufacturers such as Elgin, Illinois, Waltham, and Hamilton. Elgin National Watch Co. Pocket Watch Serial Number Lookup & Identify Loading. If your Elgin is a 'hacking' version, it should be a Grade 539 movement. The serial number into an Elgin database and it will tell you the date.

I have been using the Elgin serial number look-up on the elginwatches.org website to look up serial numbers for pocket watches. Does the database also contain wrist watch info? I put a serial number in from an Elgin wrist watch movement i have, and it returned information that seems to match, but i don't know enough about wrist watches to know if it is real.

For instance, the serial number i put in comes back as for an 18s watch made around 1895. The date seems believable, but wouldn't an 18s watch movement make an awfully large wrist watch?

Does 18s mean different things for pocket watch versus wrist watch? Thanks for any info.

FRAME No BICYCLE DATING HOW OLD IS MY BICYCLE? ‘How old is my bicycle?’ is a question I get asked a lot, nearly as much as: ‘I have a bicycle that looks like one of yours; if I send you pictures please can you identify it for me?’ The answer, in short, is that I do not have time to tell you either.

I’m not being callous about this. With an estimated 15,000 bicycle manufacturers, the odds are stacked against me recognizing yours; in any case, I do not claim to be an expert, just an assiduous recorder of information. To sift through information to try and find similar pictures to your unidentified bicycle would take me months, and I’m already doing similar research on my own bikes. Not only do I have a full-time job (I run my own business restoring and selling vintage vehicles) and am a hands-on parent of a young child, but I spend a minimum 30 hours every week building, updating and maintaining these free websites to help you do your own research. My hobby usually takes a backseat. Insomnia is my saving grace, otherwise there would be no time for any of this.

My purpose for creating these databases is simple. In the ‘old days’ (a time which seems to have ended in the past twenty five years or so), a youngster became an apprentice in a chosen field and learned its history from the older employees. Thus, for example, an apprentice mechanic was handed down an invaluable unwritten guide to repairing vehicles that could not be learned at college nor from books, because, as well as specific information about various models, it helped a youngster understand the way they were designed and built. Similarly, to learn about vintage bicycles, we ask questions of our elders in the hobby. The key point here is that the elders who were around while our favourite vintage machines were still on the road are no longer with us, the last of them having passed on in the past twenty years or so.

Now we must depend on those who gleaned that first-hand knowledge from them; these chaps were the ‘youngsters’ then, but now they’re getting older themselves, most in their late sixties and seventies. They don’t usually use computers, so much of their knowledge is stored in their heads.

By the time we learn from them, it’s second-generation information. My contemporaries and I are in a younger age group – forties to sixties – and we’re busy learning and recording what we can before it’s lost forever. We study 100-year-old magazines to see when certain new innovations were first reviewed (it helps us date bicycles with similar features), read correspondence of the time to try to understand contemporary views and opinions, research old catalogues, meet fellow enthusiasts, help each other with restorations, ride our old bikes as much as possible, and work with our elders to pick up tips and wisdom.
