Serial Number 2933025 was reported as inaccurate.
McKinley grade, open-face movement [as are the
only two other watches listed between 2933001 and
2933100 (2933032 & 2933035) on page 154 of the
'Hampden Watch Co.' book by Hernick & Arnold].
These are not adjusted to position and are not
considered to be railroad watches.
Best regards,
Kent
