matches the two uploaded pictures but the line
drawing shows a different regulator.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Indeed, this watch is fitted with an early Teske Patent regulator that Hampden utilized prior to transitioning to the standard "Hampden Star" regulator. I have noted this in the lookup information.

Serial Number 1055471 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Serial number 1055471 is a 15-jewel Dueber Watch
Co. grade. However, it is not adjusted (and is
not marked "Adjusted" there is not question about
it). Only the 21-jewel version of the 18-size
Dueber Watch Co. grades is adjusted. That being
so, it is not a railroad grade watch.

Best regards,
Kent
