Elgin pocket watch with a baseball-themed fob

An Elgin pocket watch with a baseball-themed fob is a vintage collectible that connects the history of American watchmaking with the national pastime. The Elgin National Watch Company was one of the largest and most prolific watch manufacturers in the United States, operating from 1864 to the 1960s. These watches are popular with collectors today due to their availability, reasonable cost, and the fact that parts are still relatively easy to find. The baseball fob is a separate accessory, often made of brass or other materials, which was a popular way for people to show their affiliation with a sport or team in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These fobs can be found in various designs, including a baseball glove, a player at bat, or, as seen in this case, a baseball itself.
