Fine slim Swiss Meylan 18K gold and enamel antique pocket watch with a beautifully engraved scene of San
Francisco's Golden Gate before the construction of the bridge, circa 1910.
Slim case with black enamel Greek Key borders. Original silver dial with bold black markings and
blued steel hands. Nickel 17 jewel 6 adjustment movement with precision regulator.
Very attractive and probably unique.
The back is engraved "To the faithful guardian Elmer E. Chase". Chase was the former
president of the Golden Gate Packing Company and an important figure in the history
of the packing and canning industry in the San Jose area.
