Serial Number 6562009 was reported as accurate.

sanderson 35 · April 28, 2020

Serial Number 6562347 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This watch was entered here previously (8 Sept
2019). The entry failed to mention this watch's
movement is engraved "RAILWAY TIMER". The dial is
a private label, "A.N. Anderson Minneapolis".
From an NAWCC thread dated 10 June 2005
(DEVILDOG76) I believe 6562346 has the movement
engraved with "RAILWAY TIMER" as well.
