If that is the Elgin movement serial number (not the case number), it would date back to 1878-79. Hope you can post a picture.

Elgin produced the movement in 1893. My eyes are kinda blurry, but I would say that it's a gold filled case. Nice old watch, but not a high dollar model with that lower grade movement.
