Note: My 1546170 isn't under a private label from what I
can see it says Illinois watch co.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The private labels noted are simply observations within this run. This does not imply the entirety of the run was comprised of private label movements. Private labels were typically marked in small batches, and it is normal to find movements with standard markings within the same run.
