I found out that the Vintagewatchforum Elgin forum has a ton of info. Seem like a cool group of guys- lots of collectors that restore their own watches.

Just need the serial number on the movement, and can give you pretty much all the info you want. (Open back and take a photo.)
Case is gold filled.

For value, just look on ebay for Elgin 289. Look at sold items only for a true value.
