Serial Number 3027178 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This listing is a bit confusing, because you
describe it as an 18 size Model 6 but the
illustration is like mine, a 16 size bridge Model
7. Mine is a hunter case design, two-tone, and
signed "Illinois Central." It is not listed in
the illustrious "Complete" Price Guide to Watches.
