Serial Number 1615519 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: S# 1615519 - Very similar with the same basic
plate design and unexposed ratchet but this serial
# is marked I. G. Dillon & Sons and has the
following added features: 1) micro-regulated
balance, 2) dual-screw flush gold jewel settings
on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th wheels as well as on
ratchet & balance, 3) marked Adjusted, and 4)
interesting wave-oriented damaskeen on top
plates.(looks exactly like the A. Lincoln, except
with 17J)
