Re: Blue Elgin box
Could it be for the Dunbar as the box is a similar shape?

Don't know just a wild guess.

Re: Blue Elgin box
Sorry, replied directly to Carl.
This box suits early 1950s Elgin watches. (like the plamsprings, 17 jewel models not lord Elgin 21 jewels). You also find them with DuraPower banners across the top.

Re: Blue Elgin box
Example of the DuraPower, stolen from eBay so will disappear.

Re: Blue Elgin box
So, exclusively for the women's watches, do you think?

Re: Blue Elgin box
Wouldn't think so. The box that Carl posted is what must be a very dark blue. I suspect that Elgin used the dark blue box for men's models, the pastel blue for women's. (Basically identical design, but perhaps smaller dimensions for the women's?)So, exclusively for the women's watches, do you think?
Re: Blue Elgin box
No, those blue boxes are for both. That image was just the first one I found with the DuraPower.
