The early number on the 17 jewel 980 indicates this is probably from the late 30s.
Name is on the case.
New crystal and band. Elgin Small 14K Perfect for a man with a small wrist, but better for a woman. I originally bought this watch thinking that I would get the dial redone. After cleaning the watch and adding a new Hirsch lizard grained leather band, I wore it for a while and really like it. Sure the dial is not perfect, but the watch is all original, and only the closest inspection picks up on the imperfections.
