Note: This watch is an 18s keywind and set from behind
Crescent St! Appears to be an early one and out
of the regular sequence.
Curator Response: Crescent St. is a grade manufactured by Waltham, not Elgin. Always use the proper manufacturer to conduct serial lookups. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/search/result/waltham/470541

Serial Number 465902 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 465902 was produced in 1872
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. However, according to historical reports from the factory, the 17-Size Model was not introduced to the market until 1874. The "T.M. Avery" movement was not advertised in the Elgin Almanac until 1875. If you have primary sources to contradict this, please feel free to sumbit another report.
