Serial Number 663547 was reported as accurate.

Serial Number 663599 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Hampden serial number 663599, lacking an upper
center jewel, is only a 15-jewel movement, as are
five other examples from the run 663001-664000 in
our data base - only 663334 is listed as 17-jewel
and that might be an error.

Additionally, these pre-1908 John C. Dueber grade
movements are clearly marked "Adjusted To Heat &
Cold" and, like the grade No. 63 reported earlier
today, they are NOT adjusted to position,
certainly not five positions.

Best regards, Kent

Serial Number 663599 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: It's all correct except this one is marked
"Adjusted to Heat & Cold" only. I don't know if
that means it's not adjusted to positions.
