Elgin Part Number Codes


The Elgin National Watch Company used a set of codes to designate types of watch parts as a component of its spare parts inventory and ordering system. These are not the same numbers that appear in the Elgin Genuine Material books, but these number do appear on reorder envelopes and on parts packages. For some reason, lists of these numbers are hard to come by. So, to aid the watchmaking community and hobbyists, here they are...

Pages   1   2   3   4   5   6 

Notes: This list came to me as a set of hand typed pages on Elgin letterhead. I have reproduced them here as they appear on these pages. Some numbers are listed with an empty description, some numbers are skipped, and some parts descriptions occur with more than one number.
