	Elgin National Watch Company
		Opened in 1925, it was acquired by the Elgin National Watch Company in 1940.
		On May 12, 1874 during a special stockholder’s meeting held in Chicago, the name of the company was changed to "The Elgin National Watch Company.
		At that time watches took six months to complete and the B. Raymond model sold for $117 at a time when pork chops sold for three cents a pound (several years ago this watch was bought at auction by the city of Elgin for $15,000).

	Elgin National Watch Co.
		In 1874, the name of the company was changed to the Elgin National Watch Co. Under the leadership of company president T. Avery, annual output rose from about 30,000 watches in the early 1870s to about 500,000 by the late 1880s, when the company employed nearly 2,500 people at its Elgin plant.
		Other founders of this new company, initially named the National Watch Co., included Ira G. Blake and P. Bartlett, both of whom had been involved with the famous Waltham Watch Co. in Massachusetts.
		This enterprise, which would quickly become one of the world's leading manufacturers of timepieces, was founded in Chicago during the Civil War by a group of investors that included Benjamin W. Raymond, a former mayor of the city, and John C. Adams, a Chicago watchmaker.

		A Quick History of the Elgin National Watch Company
		The name never really stuck and in 1874, they changed their name to the "Elgin National Watch Company" because most of the watch trade and public were calling them "watches from Elgin".

	[ELGIN] Watch Serial Number Information
		When a watch was brought in for repair or cleaning, the watchmaker would often, but not always, scratch some kind of code into the back of the case so that can tell if they have repaired a the watch before.
		Even after the 1920's, when watch companies started selling cased watches, the watch companies still bought the watch cases from outside sources and the serial numbers were still unrelated.
		Sometimes these scratches would be some form of date code, or maybe just the initials of the watch maker, often just an invoice or repair number.
