Serial Number 183968 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Leverset as stated. Pendant & Key wind ....
Transition watch. The grade should be Eastlake.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. I have updated the winding type to "transitional." The "Eastlake" mark is a private label. Factory records designate this run as "Columbia."
