Serial Number 22679461 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Overlooked that this was a lever set when
servicing.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. However, the Model 5 is a pendant-set movement. Some people mistake the spring under the dial as a lever-set mechanism. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/guide/company/elgin/model/18s/model-5
