Serial Number 931346 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: Everything is correct but this is a Circular
Two-tone and the grade would be #81
Two-tone and the grade would be #81
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. With the beveled screws and upgraded two-tone finish, this movement would be more consistent with the Grade No. 63 classification. The 1899 A.C. Becken catalog offers the No. 63 "in two colors when specially ordered." Based on other catalog descriptions, this grade group also featured beveled screws while the No. 80/81 was described with "bright flat screws." I have updated the database accordingly.
