Serial Number 197116 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: OK - it's 18 size, full gilt plate, hunting
design, lever set, looks like 15 jewels, stem
wind, and the plates are layed out like a Model 2.
It's labeled "Springfield Mass." only on the back
and has a single-sunk Roman enamel dial on the
front w/ r.r. track minute chapter. It does not
say it's adjusted, has a free-swinging regulator
needle and an index engraved into the plate, not
the balance cock.
