Research Note: #2592753: Verified as "Lafayette" movement [Atlam Watches, Etsy]. #2592758: Movement cut appears in Montgomery Ward & Co. Catalogue No. 78, reproduced in Megger's Illinois book. The "Lafayette" movements may actually have been classified by the factory as Grade 809. #2592218 (photographed in Megger's book) is correlated to a run of Grade 809 movements but appears identical to the "Lafayette" movements that are correlated to Bunn Special runs. However, these movements were also produced before the introduction of the 16s Bunn Special.
