Serial Number S950621 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Nathan, I was poking around looking 16s 19J+
Elgins for sale and comparing them to past sales
and noticed S950621 is listed as a 571 but the
movement photograph shows 575 stamped on the train
bridge. Most likely a typo?

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This run is mixed with late-production grades. With more known examples surfacing, hopefully we can begin to determine the run segments in the near future. This will begin to correct some of the assigned images for the run.
