Note: Hi Nathan:

Serial number 2160552 is a 21J 'Dueber Watch Co.'
grade. This grade makes up most of the run
2160001-2163000, with a number of 'John Hancock'
grade movements scattered throughout the range.
The movements are all marked 'Adjusted' and
although Hampden didn't seem to have promoted the
21J 'Dueber Watch Co.' grade for railroad service,
they were probably accepted into service. The 18S
'John Hancock' grade was certainly railroad grade.

Best regards, Kent
