Where can I find the value of an Elgin pocket (vest) watch?
Is there some sort of Elgin pocket collectors group?

Elgin made over 50 million watches between the years of 1867 and 1962.
Some Elgin watches are worth many thousands of dollars. Some Elgin watches are so common that I've passed on buying them at $20. Rarity, desirabilty, and condition are all quite important.
If you can post, at a minimum, the serial number off the movement, it would help pin things down a little bit more.
The good folks over at the NAWCC Message Board would be happy to give you an opinion quality, although they can't give you an opinion on value.

There are 5 of them on ebay right now. One is at auction at $31 with 49 minutes remaining. One at $33 with 8 minutes remaining.
One site appraises a nice one at $60 but they seem to be selling for less. Even a gold one is selling for only $49.
