Elgin “Pi Kappa Alpha” Pocket Watch

 

The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, often known as “Pike,” was founded in 1868 at the University of Virginia and has since established chapters across the United States, each carrying its own storied heritage. Over the years, many members have expressed their pride in the fraternity through both deeds and personal items. Among such items is an elegant Elgin pocket watch, size 18, crafted more than 120 years ago in 1895. This fine watch is a testament to the enduring legacy of “Pi Kappa Alpha,” adorned with the fraternity’s crest and the name “F. H. C. Scadden” engraved on it. Created by Elgin, this 7-jewel timepiece dates back to 1895, with its dial customized during that era. While it remains operational upon winding, servicing may be necessary as it has not been maintained recently. This extraordinary artifact of fraternal tradition is a unique treasure, and it’s improbable that you’ll encounter another of its kind. Seize this chance! Should you have any questions, please inquire.
