Rare Elgin “Harvey Firestone” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill, circa 1929.
Part of Elgin’s American Efficiency series, this very large watch was named in honor of Harvey L. Firestone, president of Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. It was priced to consumers at $41.00 in 1929. It is a rare model and this is only the second I have offered. This example is in excellent condition with only light brassing to the highpoints of the bezel. There is one area of plating loss along the case edge. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 40mm long and 29mm wide. Original dial is excellent, has silver inlaid numerals. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17 jewel Elgin grade 487 adjusted movement.
