Elgin Craft Otis American
They was an American brand known for producing watches, jewelry cigarette cases and compacts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Illinois Watchcases Company owned it. In 1901, the company abandoned the Elgin name due to trademark infringement claims made by the Elgin National Watch Co. The Elgin American story started when Max Eppenstein began working in the jewelry quarter of New York in the late 1870s. In 1880 Solomon Eppenstein joined his brother and together they ran the M C Eppenstein & Company, (aka Eppenstein Brothers Company). The premises were located at 67 Washington St, Chicago. Initially the firm was only involved in the wholesale jewelry trade.
