Serial Number 971573 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement says, John C. Dueber (see photo)
My dial looks more for a Dueber Grand’s dial,
seller called
it “Frankenstein".
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. It looks like the serial number is 951573 instead of 971573, which would correctly correspond to a John C. Dueber run. I have updated your collection record accordingly. Here is the correct lookup page: https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/search/result/hampden/951573
