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.

The inside of it looks gold is that possible to be real gold? It has a couple of cracks on face missing hand and doesn't wind up missing 2 of 3 stones assuming diamond its a shame really but was free and cool what is top and bottom value not gonna sell cause bro gave it to me just trying to find out as much as I can

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.
