Serial Number 3443939 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: What I would add to the comment below this one is
that it's a Series IV, 3/0 size movement, it's
stem (pendant) set and the production year is
actually more like 1918, at least based on the
information in the Engle/Gilbert/Shugart price
guide. Everything else seems accurate.
Curator Response: With Hampden observations, I only update the known registry once images are provided for proper verification.

Serial Number 3443939 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Since there is little information here, I'm not
sure how it can be called accurate or inaccurate.
The watch is a Molly Stark, 000 (or possibly 3/0)
size, Series IV movement with seven jewels, plain
regulator, hunting case.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
