Serial Number 1935477 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Not Railroad grade.
This because it is full hunter with a roman
numeral dial.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This one is not "Railroad Grade" because the movement is not factory-adjusted. Hunting and Roman Numeral dials were still accepted by many American railroads at the estimated time of production.
