Serial Number 1633683 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: It all appears to be accurate except for the date
for "To finishing dept." The database says
November 3, 1921, but the engraving on the inner
back of the case states as follows: "Presented to
Mr. H.A. Barnard, Asst. Supt., by the Operating
Department on his severing his connection with the
C.C. & F. Coy, Turcot Works, Montreal, December
14th, 1912"
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. It is possible the movement is not original to the case. Check for scoring marks around the edge where the movement is secured in the case. Also verify the serial number and manufacturer used for lookup.
