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. |

So, I believe I am reading the serial number 13,841,547.
The movement was made in 1909. Size 6, (ladies) Hunting case. 7 jewels. Not adjusted. grade 289 model 2 2,000 made in this run, 321,001 made overall. Pendant set. (Do not need to pull lever out to set.) |

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