Serial Number 3675593 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Santa Fe Special

Serial Number 3675665 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Mine has a 3 o'clock seconds hand on an open face,
which I believe is original. The 3 o'clock seconds
hand would not be in a Hunter case.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If the seconds bit is located at the 3:00 position, the movement is indeed a hunting configuration with a "conversion dial." If possible, please upload images to your collection for further evaluation and documenation. Thanks!
