Serial Number 977575 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Fine point- I have this watch and it's engraved
December 25, 1909 so that may point to the
production run starting in late 1909 instead of
1910.
Curator Response: Thanks for the additional information. It is always helpful when estimating production dates.
