Serial Number 1581073 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: At 5 June 2017 the watch with this serial Number
is for sale on Ebay. The movement is Marked Gen'l
Stark. There is quite a difference in the qualiy
of a Wm McKinley and a Gen'l Stark movement. This
entry needs to be corrected. Why was it ever
changed from Gen'l Stark?
Curator Response: When the "hunting" attribute was added for this serial number, it was grouped with a similar adjacent range of hunting Wm. McKinley movements. When submitting information for evaluation, the more details, the better.
Changes since this report was submitted:
Grade changed from Wm. Mckinley to Gen'l Stark
Jewels changed from 21j to 15j
Adjusted changed from Yes to No
Railroad Grade changed from Yes to No
