LOST

Gold-tone Elgin pocket watch with engraved initials J.R.

Posted on January 26, 2026

Description

I lost my vintage gold-tone Elgin pocket watch yesterday around 6pm. It was tucked in a small black leather pouch and I last had it near the City Market on Market Street, just outside the brick arches by the corner of Meeting and Market in Charleston. The watch is about 1.75 inches across, with a white dial, black Roman numerals, and a thin gold chain. The back is engraved with the initials J.R., and there’s a tiny dent along the rim that makes the edge a bit uneven. This watch is a family heirloom and means a lot to me; I’d be grateful to get it back if anyone found it.
