Ebay was loaded with those things about 10 years ago.
LC Smith and a bunch of other iconic old makers.
They were from China.

I don't think many Elsie collectors wanted a Chinese pocket watch.

The back should just pop off with the tip of a pocket knife or a small screwdriver.
Just carefully poke the tip into the joint between the two pieces and pry.
To put it back, just position it and apply a little pressure.

These are what was known as the dollar watch back in the day.
Google 'dollar watch' for information.
