Serial Number 2310211 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement is a 2 tone, 6s, model 3. Picture

Curator Response: Thanks for the report and images. The movement is standard nickel damaskeened ("two-tone" is gilt and nickel damaskeened finish, not nickel with gilt inlay). Hampden manufactured the 6-Size movements with screw-set jewels in both 11-Jewel and 15-Jewel variants. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to properly identify the grade without removing the dial. If the movement features 11 jewels, it would be classified as a Grade 206. If it features 15 jewels, the classification would be most liekly be Grade 213.
