Note: I believe the production year to be 1922 or
earlier, not 1923. There’s a personalized
inscription inside the case that reads “Agnes to
Ed Christmas 1922” so it was definitely
purchased in 1922, the movement looks original to
the case as well. I realize this isn’t a big
discrepancy however, every little bit helps!
Thanks for all the work you do to maintain this
database, I use it almost daily and I appreciate
your time and dedication in preserving our
horological history!
