Research Note: Original Designated Range [2211001-2212000] Recorded as 16-Size, Model 5 A. Lincoln Grade. However, reports indicate a mixed run of 18-Size and 16-Size A. Lincoln, with a transition likely occurring in the middle of the run. The database has been updated accordingly.

#2211015: Verified as marked "Illinois Watch Co. - Special - Springfield" on the barrel bridge instead of the typical A. Lincoln signing. Other features of the movement, including the damaskeening pattern, appear somewhat consistent with the 18-Size A. Lincoln movements from this era. However, the pinstripe pattern is a bit wider than the A. Lincoln movements.
