Note: This is Lafayette Grade. Three stars rarity which
means that only less than 350 were ever
manufactured. According to Illinois watch Co. the
actual amount is 200. And only 10 made in that
year
Curator Response: "Lafayette" is a private label, not a grade. The production metrics on this lookup page are based on the "Bunn Special" grade designation.

Note: I own this movement, Made for Montgomery Wards, By
the Illinois Watch Co, under their designation
"Lafayette" but in actuality a 24 jewel Bunn
Special. This movement IS Railroad Grade
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. While each railroad maintained different requirements, this one would not meet our definition of railroad grade due to the hunting confugration being produced after 1906.
