Serial Number 1884313 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This movement is PL marked for "John C. Pierik &
Co." Springfield IL, does not have Bunn
damakeening, and jewel settings are composition.
Also marked 5 position adjustments. I have
confirmed spelling of Pierik, not Dierik through
other sources.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The database has been updated accordingly.
