Serial Number 1625742 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: So Sorry!

Screwed up my entry on the 952. Mine is 1625 742.
From the last run of this Hamilton model. As I
mentioned before your printed information is
correct, but the movement picture shown is a 974
3/4 plate model, not a bridge model like the 952.
Sorry for the fouled up feed back and feel free to
use mine as an example of the 952 movement. BTW
Nawcc lists the production as a bit over 5600.

Keep up the good work!
