Serial Number 34641 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The image with the watch just isn’t of the same
watch. The 34641 Elgin watch has the name ‘G. M.
Wheeler’, not ‘H. H. Taylor’, and pretty
much all the engraving save for the ‘Elgin
JW.’ is inaccurate (including the numbers on the
side).
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
