Research Note: Original records suggest this run is comprised of 18-Size Bunn Special movements. However, #2041129 has been verified as a 16-Size private label Grade 174 movement made for the Burlington Watch Company and signed "B.W.Co. Chicago U.S.A." on the train bridge [NAWCC, https://mb.nawcc.org/attachments/img_1979-jpg.746640/]. At least some movements from this run properly correlate with the production suggest by factory records. #2041063 has been verified as an 18-Size Bunn Speical movement. Further, marketplace records show #2041109 was sold in 2013, listed as an 18-Size Bunn Special.
