Serial Number 119514 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The movement iam looking at with the serial number
119514 is keywind , the regulator is different ,
has patent pinion around the balance and no5 also
in fancy lettering it is lever set ...wondering if
it's transitional as it's in a stem wind case but
unknown if it winds with the crown also
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
