Serial Number 5455183 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I only count 9 jewels: two on balance staff,
roller, two pallet fork, one on top pallet pivot,
and one at top of the three train wheels. Bottom
of pallet pivot and the bottom of the three train
wheels don't have jewels. Otherwise, accurate.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The balance staff will have four jewels, not two. (2 Hole Jewels and 2 Cap Jewels)
