Note: On barrel bridge: adjusted, patent pinion
Curator Response: Thanks for the report and images. I am unable to exactly correlate this movement to known grades offered by the company. The "Adjusted" marking and double-sunk dial suggests a 15-Jewel movement. The closest grade classification is the No. 49, which matches except for it being described with composition jewels instead of burnished jewels. Do you happen to have the ability to check under the dial to verify the jewel count?
