Note: I have the movement but it is in an open face
watch not a hunting . It is a15j. The back of
the case has a train on it making me think it is
Railroad grade. Will be selling on Ebay if you
want to see it.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The auction images confirm it is a hunting movement (fitted in an openface case), consistent with the information in the lookup table.
